Big Ouch!

Friday after school right as I am walking up to the school campus I get a call on my phone that Eli fell off the monkey bars and is crying in pain.  His arm is hurt and he can't move.  I ran to him quickly as I saw the crowd of mommies all around him.  I knew right then he was hurt badly.  We moved him quickly to the nurses office.  Eli said to me, "Mommy I prayed to Jesus to heal me." Oh I love the faith of a small child.  It was a quick drive the ER and after some meds and X-rays it was confirmed he Broke his elbow and wrist. Ouch buddy!

As a mommy I was torn.  I was shooting a wedding in two hours and I had to leave my little guy in the hands of our great friends.  I knew he would be fine and I knew that He was in God's hands too! Jimmy was on his way, but fighting traffic.  I cried all the way home and thought about him the whole night. It hurt me so badly to see him in  that much pain and I couldn't make it better.  He was a trooper and Daddy did an awesome job taking care of him and BIG sister too! Alexis was a Rock star with her Brother and he wanted her with him the whole time!

It's Sunday now and the past two nights have been so hard.  He is in so much pain and not sleeping.  

 (mommy and daddy are not sleeping either.) This is so hard seeing your son in so much pain and not knowing when we should see that Doctor again or is this drama.  (cause Eli is a lot like his mommy and knows how to add the drama) This weekend has been quite hard.  I hate seeing our little guy like this and everyday I am praying over him.  I know that there is something in this time we  are being taught. One day at a time.  RIGHT???  I just pray for patience and gentleness.  We are so tired and I want to make sure he is comfortable and healing quickly.

My Little Man

Well so many of you have asked about Eli and how he is adjusting to life as a 1st grader.  Well I would have to say he is doing great!!  We were a bit concerned at the beginning because is about a year younger then the rest of his class, but honestly he is doing great holding on  just fine.  

Every Monday I have the honorof working in his classroom and I love it.  I was curious to see how he would act if I was in his classroom and I was shocked!!  He was so well behaved and neve missed a beat.  I get to see how he interacts with his other classmates and how well is he adjusting to sitting at a desk longer then kinder.  He loves school and loves his friends.  He is always right up front listening and taking it all in.  The other night he heard Jimmy and I talking  I said a word that reminded him of something that he learned in school and he talked about and shared with us what the word meant!!!  I was blown away.  One of Eli favorite things to do is to buy lunch and he just thinks it is so cool and a lot of fun.  I am so proud if him and his effort that he is making as a big 1st grader.   Eli you are such an amazing little Guy and we are so proud of you!!
