A nugget

What a great day today was! My roller coaster is at the top again. The last time it went down wasnt as far as it sometimes has been. C had a good day. He got to meet Ceasar, a lab/terrier mix from the doggie brigade. He didnt do many tricks but C was happy to see him anyways. I would like to have Petey the Ponie stop by. I understand he's a miniture pony. He was in Fl for the winter and the nurse wasnt sure if he's back yet. He has to undergo an enema before he's allowed through the doors! If I were Petey theres no way I'd be bringing any joy along to share with sick kids, especially after a violation like that! :)

I asked C this evening if he wanted something for dinner and he said yes. I wanted to jump for joy!!! We went over the menu and everything I mentioned he wrinkled up his nose at. He decided on nuggets and chocolate pudding. He only ate about half a nugget, but I'll take whatever amount he's shoving in. So, small progress.

C has finally got his impish ornery little grin back. Its balm to my hurting heart to see his personality come through again. I've waited several weeks to see his smile truly shine on through! When I was saying our bedtime story and prayers tonite C out of the blue said 'mommy how did daddy hurt his hands'? I was thinking he knew how Marvs hands got burned, but with all the meds and trauma that he's had, it doesnt surprise me that he's forgotten. I asked C if he remembered what happened and he said 'I was on fire and it was really hot'. I told him that daddy saved him from the fire and thats how daddys hands got hurt. He said 'ok' and that was all. I want to erase all that from C's memory! I know that mental healing for C is going to have come from Christ. I reassured C that nothing like that will happen again. He said 'I know mommy'. I feel so useless when it comes to this. I have gotten on my knees and begged God to let C forget that day and what happened to him. In his 5yr old mind he doesnt comprehend that things happen for a reason and that God uses events like this to further his kingdom. Its hard for me to see the good thats going to come from this, let alone trying make a child understand. We may never know either this side of heaven. So we cling to what is true and just and let the Lord lead us!

On a side note please pray for my Grandma. She has been admitted to ICU with multiple symptoms. She is 87. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to more visitors tomorrow. People make my days go so much quicker. Until next time...
