A Noah Update....

Now about Noah's arm: We went to see the Orthopedic Doctor ( Dr. David Griffin, a very cheerful doctor if you ask me). He looked at Noah's arm, and then went to look at his X-rays. He came back and said that he's not going to take of the cast Noah has on right now. If he does, then the bones will be sure to pop out of their position. The ER doctors had set them fine, not perfect because kids' bones reform anyway, he said. We set up an appointment next Thursday( while VJ's in preschool) , and if there is no sign of healing, then it'll probably be surgery, to fix it. To have surgery, it's a pretty bad break, obviously. Noah does have a red color wrap ( forgot what it's called) on his original cast that they put on in the ER. It's colored, but it's not the permanent cast.
We're ( and hope y'all will do the same) praying that he won't have to have surgery...it's enough to have a broken bone and not be able to ride bikes, do karate, and all those fun stuff. But a broken bones does not stop Noah from watching SpongeBob Squarepants! We're replacing the A-Team, and Star Wars with goofy movies! ...to Noah, VJ ( who hardly ever gets to watch SpongeBob...Cars, Magic School Bus are his ones), and I like them! Mom says it's better than kids getting the act of killing and murdering in their heads.
VJ, now, was a very different story in the waiting room. Running' around and asking Mom if she had a lollipop, is just VJ. He finally ran up to the counter and asked the lady there if she had a lollipop, and she gave each of us a piece of candy( after Mom's permission), and that quieted the little fellow down...until we got to the room we were going to be in. We had a room right over the trolleys , from one hospital to another. He got a big kick out of that, telling Dr. Griffin to look, ( he said " Oh, yes, I've waited all my life to see those!" ), and asking Dr. Griffin's assistant to " sit down and look". And he chattered on and on about " Look! there's the trolley!" and " where it going , Mommy?" and " here it comes! it coming Mommy! it coming, Katy! it coming Noah! ", and " Mommy! Mommy! Look!!" And he told the nurse, who was wrapping Noah's arm in the red color stuff, " See? There's a trolley! It coming for me!" . Little boys. " I want to ride it a trolley , Mommy."

I'll update y'all later. Since I'm on the computer, I want to find out the answer to a bonus question for Alabama History : Why is the Redstone Arsenal called Redstone Arsenal? I was the one who brought it up. We get 10 extra points on the quiz in 2 weeks if we find out what the answer is.

Happy Palm Sunday!

John 12: 12-13
" The next day a multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out, " Hosanna, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel! "
