On Holiday

I am now on Holiday until 2nd August. This blog has suffered because I just haven't had the time for it. I hope to get back to it with details of our adventure to Holland and then Belgium.

I need a break too - but not that type!

I was in charge of picking up Caleb from school on Monday. I had hoped by taking Jacob and Micah with me it would mean Abigail could have some much needed time to herself, it wasn't to be. I was trying to keep an eye all 3 at once. I made the mistake of allowing Caleb to go to the other school playground by himself. He got onto the monkey bars but fell off them awkwardly and landed hard hitting his head and as it turns out breaking his left arm in two places.

 

All the mothers rallied round us to help. I couldn't think straight but managed to focus enough to hear them all say to not take him to

St. Thomas

but St, George. It turned out that we should have stuck with the saint we knew best.

 

Caleb was very nervous because he had to go to the theatre to have his bones manipulated into the right place. The small op went ok and he seems to be recovering well. We picked them both up and they are exhausted. Abigail slept beside Caleb much to his relief but woke her up at

5.30am

.

 

He must have his arm in a cast for 4 weeks and we are on holiday in 3 weeks time so sadly he will not be able to do any swimming at the seaside or centre parcs.

 

 

I want to thank Lee and Sandy for baby sitting so I could get to the hospital. My mother for looking after the boys so I could take a funeral of a baby today and all friends and family who prayed for us. God is indeed good!

 

Life is never dull.

 

 

Here are some pictures while waiting to bring the patient home. They are from my phone hence the poor quality.
