So far the week has gone REALLY well for Preston. He's learning to manage school (and life) with using only his non-dominant hand/arm and only really had one melt down at home (over homework). It has really helped that so many people have loved and prayed for him this week!! Wednesday this awesome cookie bouquet arrived from our church with a sports theme. He was THRILLED to see it when he got off the bus and has even joyfully shared each cookie with the family. He also received many cards from friends at school, his football team, and even one from one of his Sunday school teachers.
Thursday we went for a follow up appointment and unfortunately his wrist bone is not back aligned. The doctor had to cut the cast and add a spreader to try to force the bone back into place. Preston continues to manage this all like a champ.
Today after getting back from the eye doctor with Savannah he had another special surprise waiting on the front porch, a gift from one of his best friends, Luke! It was a water gun and a special gift card to TCBY. He has been loved on well and we are SO grateful. I never would have chosen for this to happen, but through the process I've realized two things:
#1 There are a LOT of people that love our Peanut almost as much as we do
#2 This kid is so resilient! He never complains, never blamed his sister, and continues to take each day in stride, finding the joy in life.
I have so much I can learn from him!
