Where In The WORLD Are We?

My son
| I have 4 sons. Most people who have boys realize that it's quite a job just trying to keep them alive. I am amazed and thank God every day that I still have all 4. My ds8 has been especially challenging and yesterday he slipped at the pool. He had to have surgery to stitch up his chin. If we had been in the states he wouldn't have had to go through that, but this is what the doctor was most comfortable with, so my husband and I agreed that it was for the best. He did great and he's all better today. It was funny because the doctor said that he didn't have to go to school for the rest of the week. He asked me what about homeschool and I said, "Of course, we are always learning." We did have school today and he did very well. That's the bonus of school at home. I was amazed by him yesterday because he watched everything that was going on and thought deeply about everything. He told me he didn't like being in the hospital room and asked if some kids have to spend a lot of time there. I explained to him that some do and we prayed for those families. It's good that at a time when he was hurt, he was able to think about the plight of other children and how much worse it could be.
Everyone on our compound was amazing. We left the other kids at home because we thought we'd be right back after stitches. But, it took more than 8 hrs. Everyone took care and checked on them, they even got a trip to McDonald's. They felt very special. And ds8 felt really good when everyone asked how he was doing today. That's the nice thing about living and working together. We support each other.
Here's my baby at the hospital. He was a real trooper!!
