Whew!  March has definitely come in like a lion around here.  We've had our kids at 3 hospitals and 6 doctors' offices so far this month for various reasons... and we're a pretty healthy family!  Really! 

We got good news today for these two kiddos:

EG went in to retest after having endoscopic surgery in December to correct her kidney reflux, and we found that the procedure had been successful.    She can finally quit taking antibiotics, and will hopefully never have to undergo those NOT FUN tests again.  Woohoo!!

And:

C had his arm set, and the orthopedist said that he can get the cast off in TWO WEEKS.  He'll be back on the baseball field again (oh dear... ) in 2-4 weeks.  This still does not make sense to me, and the break was pretty clearly visible on the x-ray, but I trust this doctor, and we'll see what he thinks after the cast comes off.  (This is the 7th injury in our family that we've seen this orthopedist for.  Of course, 4 of those injuries were C's.)  Anyway, we're thrilled for him, that he won't have to miss the whole season.  He's been forward to this season for a long time, and it was shaping up to be a stand-out season for him - until the jaw injury 2 weeks ago (see his blog for details).

My wonderful friend Lisa took the other two boys for the day, and they had a great time playing with her boys.  I was almost home from our church's women's retreat Saturday when I got the news that C had broken his arm, and I am SO VERY THANKFUL that I was with my friends at the time.  I'm also thankful that I'd just spent the previous 24 hours or so listening to some great teaching on moving "From Fear to Faith", which was the theme of our retreat.  The Lord really prepared me to face the fears that began to flood me, and he provided great friends to be there for me when I needed them. 

So, I pray now that March would go out like a lamb, because I'm kinda worn out.
