Day One Hundred Fifty Three 2012























He's free! Grandson Elijah got his cast off today. The doc gave him the green light to run and jump and play and swim, which is very happy news for the little man. So no more crutches. He doesn't even have to wear a boot. His mom, Holly, snapped this picture of the happy boy and his sister, Shelby, as they celebrate in the parking lot after the doc visit. Woo Hoo!
Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day One Hundred Thirty Six 2012












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!
