Grandson Elijah has been diagnosed with Kohler's Disease, which is caused when the navicular bone temporarily loses its blood supply. As a result,tissue in the bone dies and the bone collapses. Here is a link that explains this condition:

He received a cool camo cast and a good prognosis from the orthopedic doc this morning. He is going to wear the cast for two weeks and then maybe a boot for a while.
This is the last full week of school, which is a good thing especially for him. He'll be going back to school tomorrow to show off his way cool camo cast.
He's getting better with those crutches, but he still needs some help. He can't put any weight on that injured foot, and even his other foot is at risk. The x-rays showed that his uninjured foot also has the same lack of bone density in the same bone. Today, since Granny was out of Bomb Pops and Drumsticks, Elijah, granddaughter Shelby and niece Julia headed to the DQ for some tasty frozen treats. Please continue to keep Elijah in your prayers for a speedy and complete recovery!

Wishing my daughter Kelly and her husband Kerry a very happy 4th anniversary! Hard to believe it's already been 4 years since that beautiful wedding on the beach in Destin, Florida. God bless you both with many more happy anniversaries to come! I love you!!
