How is Noah doing?


Great! After a visit to the Dr. today, we found out that his bones are 75-80% healed. It was really cool to see where new bone has already formed. He now has a cast that stops right below his elbow which allows him to move more freely. This cast is also water proof and we are actually encouraged to pour water down inside of it and get it wet. This is supposed to wash away the dead skin underneath. He will have this cast for 3 more weeks and then he should be all healed. He should not require any physical therapy when the cast is removed.

Sawing off the old cast was a little intimidating today. It was loud and scary having a saw blade that close to your arm. However, Noah took it in stride. I was asked if we wanted to keep the old cast and promptly said "NO". That thing stunk! Yuck!

Noah is only limited in he can't jump on a trampoline or climb a rock wall. All othe activities are good to go! That is such a blessing since our weather has taken a turn for the better and we will be outside much more than we have.

The second picture is of Camden wearing his "listening ears". He made these at school and I just thought he looked adorable.

Well, it's time I go mow the yard. When the kids were outside earlier, the grass was up to their knees.

What a sweet picture of my grandsons. And Noah's red cast looks much more comfortable than those others. Poor guy. School sounds like fun and some relief for mom - although you sound busy, Sharon! And whew about the tires on the Tahoe. You are right - God provides in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Loads of love from Hawaii. Tutu
