A Little Down But Not Out

Today was a day of ups and downs but we know, without a doubt, that God is in control and His plans and timing are perfect. He knows what is best for Jaydon (and for all of us) and we have great comfort and peace in His promises. 
Thankfully, Jaydon got his double casts off today and we are oh so grateful! He can now swing in the swing, ride in the jogging stroller, sleep more comfortably, wear undies and shorts, sit at the dinner table, and have mom and dad kiss all over his healthy leg. Blessings abound!
Unfort., his left leg has not healed enough to be cast free just yet. So, the nurses took the double casts off and gave him a shiny, new, red one for his 'boo boo' leg. How wonderful it was to see his healthy leg again though! Bob and I kissed it, rubbed it, massaged it - that was the least we could do for him. This tough kiddo has been through so much more in 3 short years of life than most of us will go through in our lifetime. It is truly the little things in life that matter most, no doubt. We are so honored that God chose us to take care of him, love him, nurture him, teach him about Himself and His love.
Thank you so much for praying for us during this time. Today was very rough on Jaydon as he was dealing with great fear and a huge disappointment to have another cast. It was obviously not easy on us either but we choose to see the blessings in this unexpected chapter of our lives. 
We thank God for getting us this far. May He be glorified if there be anything good in us.
Many blessings to all of you!
