RAD (reactive attachment disorder) has tried to control our household for the past 4 days. It is completely and totally out of control today. Papa and Mama are tired ... exhausted ... ready for a break from RAD. Praying for healing for our precious daughter who has allowed RAD to take over her life.
Praying for healing.
Praying for answers.
Praying for respite.
Praying for support.
Praying for a job so that we can afford to start therapy.
($500+ for the initial consultation,
plus $150 for each ongoing session)
Praying for a breakthrough.
Praying for release from the enemy for our daughter.
Praying for peace in our home.
Praying for comfort for all of the siblings.
(It truly scares the boys.)
Please pray for our family today ...

Oh sweetheart...I am lifting you all up right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that. What a disappointment over Christmas time. I did pray for you all just now. God WILL provide what you need, my prayer though is that He will rise up to give you much more than what you NEED and bless you with a marvelous respite.
ReplyDeleteI know how very hard this is - we are walking it with you. I pray that you will find help that you can afford and that will bring true healing. Have you considered an evaluation at Seattle Children's? Email if you want info.
ReplyDeleteI read your post on finding the lost china and silver with such happiness! It is a sweet sign of God's love for you.

Oh, Laurel, it must be the holidays...the change in schedule...the break from school...or who knows what?!? AD has reared its ugly head at our house too. We also received our 57 page report from BG Center this week. 57 pages of quite dismal diagnoses. But there is hope! When I am able to digest the report more fully (probably right before we have our IEP meeting at school!) I will be able to share on the blog. It's such.a.long.road. I'm praying for you, sister!
ReplyDeleteThe worlds "salve" cannot cure a spiritual disease!
ReplyDeleteMy parents tried there best, "applying" one salve after another, only to realize that the "disease" would not go away.
Walking in sin/rebellion is a "wound" that can only heal through the salve that dripped from a cross two thousand years ago.
Praying that your Little Miss lays her wounds where the salve of true healing runs down.
Praying in BC, Canada!
ReplyDeleteSummer- that was SO GOOD!!!
ReplyDeleteFor my son who is so much like your daughter, it starts around Thanksgiving and continues until the end of February, his birthday. We have had moments this year when it was better, but in general he has sunk down into his pit again. He's so hard to describe rationally just what this feels like as a parent, but I do believe it is spiritual warfare. Tough, tough stuff. Praying for both of ours!
ReplyDeleteI understand and continue to pray for your family. Our daughter suffers from RAD also along with PTSD, ADHD and some others. It is hard and draining. You feel sorry for the child and sorry for your family.
ReplyDeleteWe were scared too. So scared for our other children that we couldn't keep her in the house anymore. She is now getting help at a therapeutic group home for RAD kids. She is still ours, but getting the help she so desperately needed.
Praying that your situation can stabilize and she can get the help she needs and be able to stay in your home.
Much love and prayers.
Scott ... I don't know if you or your wife have ever commented before. I don't recognize your name (or your cycling blog). I would love to be in touch with either you or your wife. It is always good to be in touch with others who understand; and it is good to be in touch with others that live in the same state, to know what options are available. I would love an email from either you or your wife. (address is in my sidebar)
