Glad it's a new day!!

Yesterday was just one of those days!! The night before, I forgot to put an extra pad in Madison's diaper. (remember, she's in a spica cast, and doesn't wear her regular size) When I got her up in the morning, I could tell her diaper had leaked. Oh my had it leaked!!! The cotton liner of her cast was dripping wet!!! So I spent a good chunk of the day blow drying her cast! Then Megan dumped a new bag of dog food on the kitchen floor. While helping her clean up, I burned lunch. Oh yeah! It was one of those days!!! But today is a new day! And the cast is dry! Madison is cranky today. Not sure what's up there. I hope she's not getting sick, and if she is, I hope she gets over it by next week. We have a cast change on Wednesday, and since they knock her out for that, they won't do it if she's sick.

Bible study is going great! I'm leading our women's group in the Esther Bible Study by Beth Moore. I feel so inadequate as a teacher, but my hubby said a couple of women had told him what a wonderful teacher I am. That is so humbling! I pray that God continues to use this study to change the lives of the women in attendance.

On Sunday nights, we are doing the Love Dare Bible study. (from the Fireproof movie) It's going great! Chris and I are actually in a good point in our marriage, but this just adds so much to it! I hope each of you will considering doing it!

I think that's all for now. Madison needs me. :) Never a dull moment around here.

the journey continues

We are now entering week 3 of the cast journey. Madison continues to amaze me!! She is still so happy!! The cast rarely bothers her. She does get a little frustrated when she can't turn over, but for the most part, she's accepted her situations. She has started scooting around! When she sees something on the floor she wants, she tries to get it.

We had a major diaper leak this weekend - up her back, down her legs, etc. It was one of those that would be nasty on a "regular" kid, but one in a cast is even worse!!! I cleaned it as best I can, but boy is the doctor in for a treat when he changes the cast. lol I'm positive it won't be the first time. In fact, it's probably more the norm.

Speaking of cast change, hers is the 20th. We have x-rays on Wednesday, and then the cast change 2 weeks after that. I really hope her new cast is smaller.

That's the latest around here. We are getting closer to school being out. We are all looking forward to that! Hubby finished up his classes last week, so he has more free time now! woohoo!!

Hope everyone's doing well! (((HUGS)))
