Finger Lickin' Good

Here is a picture of Elliott's finger this weekend getting the bandages changed by our nurse friend (Hi Robin!). It is healthy looking. I have more close-ups on Facebook or email if you want them but I didn't post them here. He is holding up well. We should hear from our doctor tomorrow about an orthopedic surgeon consult later this week. And to top it all off, he has a dentist appointment on Tuesday where we expect a diagnosis of some major work.

But there was some real bright spots reported about Elliott. This morning at church our youth pastor commented, to the whole congregation, that Elliott was inspirational in his commitment to staying for the youth convention weekend. And several people came up to us and said that some of the other kids that went were fussing a little about the weather or food or whatever. But they were told, "Look at Elliott - he has the most to complain about but he isn't whining at all!" I told Elliott that sometimes we can be a witness just by being who we are.

Meanwhile, we went to a friend's house for Easter lunch and games. Later that night their brothers and families came for dessert. It was a real nice day and evening. Windy and chilly but sunny.

The kids are off this week. I will mow the yard tomorrow and follow up on some leads.
