The Big Toe Is Free At Last



3 weeks ago Elias was doing stunt tricks while dancing to Jana Alyra and ended up in the ER with a broken BIG toe.  

He ended up having surgery to put a metal rod into the toe while it was healing.  God is so good, it turned out that the anesthesiologist was a friend of ours from church. We prayed for Elias and then Chris and I had a lot of fun picking on him while he was getting loopy from the meds!  The surgery was successful and we took our little man home.  


The rod they in
serted stuck out of the front of his toe and he kept hitting it on everything so the next day
 they decided to cast his foot.  Elias chose a bright yellow  cast(I tried to talk him out of it and into something that would go better with all his clothes).  So crutches and all, he missed the first couple weeks of soccer, couldn't swim and had to start off his first week of school.  












But today we took him in and they said it healed perfectly!  They pulled the metal rod out and gave it to him as a cool souvenir and now o
ur little man is free to swim, play soccer, and whatever else his heart desires.  He handled it all like a champ!
