This was yesterday after grandson Elijah had his foot x-rayed for broken bones. (Saturday afternoon, he was jumping over a big bouncy ball in his back yard with no shoes on and landed hard on the toes of his right foot. Major hurt!) He was trying hard to maneuver on his crutches in these pictures. Today, he went to school, not wanting to, because he was afraid the kids would point and stare and laugh at him. Well, they did stare for a bit, but they didn't laugh. Instead, they rallied around him, helping him get through his day on crutches. He even got to ride in the school elevator. His x-rays showed some fracturing in the Cuneiform bone--that large bone in the big toe. He's headed to the orthopedic doctor in the morning for more x-rays to determine if there are other, more serious problems with his bones in that foot. Keep him in your prayers for a positive prognosis!

Oh I can't stand seeing little man in pain :o( Hope he gets a good prognosis!!!
Hang tough, Elijah man! He is in our prayers and we hope he gets a good prognosis and heals quickly! Glad the kids at school rallied around him :0)
Bless his little heart! I've been praying for him since I found out he was hurt. Kids are usually pretty good about supporting each other. There's a little boy at Sycamore who broke his leg and is in a wheelchair. The kids want to help him get around - it's sweet to watch. Praying all goes well at the orthopedist tomorrow!
