That's right folks,
jsut weeks before we are hoping to leave for China
to get our treasures
my oldest
fondly referred to as Our Sherpa
looks like this ~
His arm was hurt last Saturday, at his first wrestling tournament. Which he still placed 5th out of 70 boys even with a forfeight!
I was really surprised today when someone said "you must have really made God mad for this to happen." Besides the fact that MY GOD is a loving God and I don't believe this, it did make me think. Do I just see the good happenings in my life as acts of God and not the bad?
And then it dawned on me.
This has nothing to do with our trip but how our adoption will bless our family.
You see we had a consultation on Monday - which took 6 weeks to get - to develop a plan of care for Cavanaugh's legs when he gets home, as well as thoughts on FeiFei. While I waited for the fabulous orthopedist to see us, her PA came in to introduce himself and talk about our family. I asked him to look at our big boys x-ray and explained the situation. He said he thought it was ok, but that elbows are really hard to diagnose. He left me saying if it still hurts in a week to come see him.
My friends these words were His Grace.
By Wednesday, although he was still in a half cast splint, my big boy said his arm hurt MORE - ugh! Also it jsut looked kinda weird and he couldn't straighten his elbow. Now my experience is NICU, I know a lot but bones - not so much!
My husband and I decided he should be seen jsut to ensure everything was ok before the trip. I called around without much luck, and then I called the orthopedist office and asked for an appt with the PA. One nice thing about adopting 2 special needs kids and of course little man - we are memorable. Once the receptionist called the PA he quickly agreed to see big boy on their first available!
So does the situation
