As the intensity of the past month thankfully winds down, I find myself looking around in amazement at all the neglected areas in my own life. Some of them are just going to be ignored, but I really think it would be fun to get ready for Christmas. First things first, right?
He was given permission to go out in public so for the first time in three weeks, he was able to be in someplace more open than the hospital or his apartment. We took him to the mall! With a harness on him, we let him run from one end to the other! He loved the freedom and kept laughing and squealing and running, running, running!. Other shoppers probably wondered why we were so happy, but who cares! Running never felt so good to a little boy.
This is his special sun-screening hat.

We continue to pray that he will heal both physically and emotionally. I know this is very hard on him emotionally. He understands what happened. When his mom used the same pot again, he was afraid. He cried in fear when he was told that the beans were too hot to eat. Hot means something very terrible! The space heater in the bathroom scared him. It will take time for him to work through those emotions. I pray constantly for him and his parents also to have wisdom in how to handle this too.
Thanks to all of you who have joined us in pray for this little guy.
