Jeven's broken jaw
We have had quite the crazy week. I think most of you have heard but for those who haven't, last Sunday, we were at church and Jeven was climbing on a huge cougar statue in the library and it fell and landed on his face. Long story short, he broke his jaw in 3 places and we had to spend 2 nights in the hospital, with surgery on Monday. He did AMAZING! The doctors would come in and Donny and I would be balling and Jeven was just like "hey doctor." He barely had any pain meds and was such a brave little boy. We had so many people from our church come to visit and pray and just hang out, it was awesome. We felt so blessed and the Lord really covered so many things while we were there. The surgeon said the procedure went picture perfect and that Jeven should be good as new real soon! We are just so thankful for all the prayer and support; the Lord is awesome! Jeven is doing great now, we can hardly get him to sit still. The hardest part for him is finding soft foods he will eat and reminding him he needs to rest. So, here are some pictures documenting our time in the hospital and some recovery at home, some of which are from a camera phone so please excuse the poor quality. Some quick explanations; the puddle picture is just a picture of my tear puddle. I looked down after I had been crying and saw I had made quite the puddle! The motorcycle racing is a little gift from Ian & Mindy and we definately used it to stay busy; the boys were trying to get "Peacock" (jeven names him that) to hit the hospital room door...and they finally succeeded. The baloon hitting pictures were just...the things we do to get a smile from our little guy! So thanks again for everyone who prayed, brought us food, toys, balloons, visited, helped financially, and everything else! We are so appreciative of it all!
