a little miracle....... or two

Our little Ava spent two days in the hospital last week. It was a very scary experience that reminded us of the importance of gratitude and humility and an overwhelming sense of God's grace.

She was limping on her right leg. The peditrician sent us to a specialist and she was admitted to the Childrens Hospital. The doctors were using words like "infection" and "tumor".

The hospital had a huge playroom for the children and these awesome "child life" people that organized activities. Ava was covering her eyes and hiding from the bubbles.










After what seemed like an eternity (36 hours) and lots of medical tests, we were informed that Ava had a fracture in her right fibula. She is now sporting a little pink cast. I never imagined that I would feel relieved to learn that one of our children had a broken bone, but I was!!! I have a new sense of appreciation for healthy children. Take time tonight to hug on your babies, we are all very blessed!!
