Everything is better with friends...

And by the look on these smiling faces, everything includes injury. 

WARNING:
Camping may be Hazardous 
to your Health! 

We may need to have some signs printed up! Ethan B. fell last Saturday night while camping and got this injury. A hairline fracture... 

I have to brag a bit about Jack... He has handled this burn so well. We will return to the Burn Clinic in Seattle tomorrow to get an update and a continued plan for healing. He has faithfully let me clean it, pick at it, and wrap it up without complaint. Part of the process is to remove the dead skin so the new skin can feel the medicine. So that is what we have to do... Cut and peel it away with surgical tweezers and scissors. And today he wanted to do it himself. He is very brave...

Today, Day 10...
Taking matters into his own hands... literally.

Sweet Boys... I love that you have each other. They are even having a play date. What the heck, they are both on Advil!

This nastiness was DAY 5...   I am squeamish by nature, I hate blood and throw up. I hate all things medical. But I have to say I am amazed by Gods design for the human body. To watch daily the process of a healing burn is more than amazing. And it does not even gross me out anymore! Thank you God for healing.

Maybe nursing school is calling you? The boys are having a great time playing with their left hands, their injury did not hinder their creativity. Thanks for your "link" help.

Glad that Jack is doing better. Here's praying for continued healing.
