Boo-boo


Earlier today Joel had his first 1 hour PT appointment. (Up till now he has had 30 minute appointments.) He did pretty good lasting 45 minutes. When we got home the whole family was out in the backyard together enjoying the beautiful day. Shortly after I took the photos of the boys below, Joel tripped on something and fell and hit his face on the cement. His tooth went all the way through his lip in the same spot it has twice before (so now it has happened 3 times in the past 4 months.) You can see the boo-boo on his chin in the above picture. He trips and runs into things a lot because during the surgery they removed the part of the brain that controls the right side of his vision, therefore he doesn't have vision on his right side of both eyes. Please pray that it will heal fast and never happen again. It makes my heart ache to see him get hurt (and he gets hurt a lot due to his vision.)

Poor little guy! Hang in there Annie. I know it's hard to see him get hurt, but praise the Lord that he is able to walk around! He'll figure out everything with time and I'm sure that eventually he won't fall quite so much. Right now he's got a big world to check out and he's willing to do it at any cost. You just keep those kisses and band-aids coming and encourage him to keep exploring :)
