update

sorry for all the delays, but it is busy around here.

what with packing. doctor appointments to fix julia's leg. regular life business. fun. duties. trials. etc etc. you know how life goes. haha.

anyway. 

today i took julia to the doctor (an answer to prayer because my doctor is VERY hard to get ahold of....VERY hard).   it was a last minute appointment...as in, i called the moment they opened - at nine- and was in at 9:45 for an appointment!!! wow. thank you LORD!

after that trip we now have a new set of instructions.

Ibuprofin, ice the leg three times a day, encourage her to try walking.

alright. as of nap time today, she has SUCCESSFULLY walked by herself...to and from the bathroom!!! yipppeee!!! praise the LORD!!

so. a quick story for those of you who don't know what happened.

Thursday night we were enjoying a spontaneous dinner with our neighbors when a huge crash was heard from Julia's room.  We ran in to find her on all fours in the middle of her room (away from any objects or furniture) she was in great pain, clutching her leg RIGHT where she broke it last spring....dun dun dudun. scary i know!!  All she had been doing was looking up to see if her flowers were blooming, so...she fell from a standing position to her hands and knees. that's it. crazy eh?
Dave took her in to emerg for xrays. 
and the rest is history.

thanks for the concern and the prayers. God is so faithful. He shows us this everyday. Julia has been very content to just sit on the couch and imagine great and wonderous things. honestly, i would ask her what toy-book-puzzle to bring her, and she would say, "No thank you i'm okay". and then continue her great plan to "Trap all the gravity so that i can fly". yep. that's my three year old. still searching for a way to have 'victory' over gravity and take off into the great blue sky.

i love her.

Praise the Lord for such an answer this morning, getting the appt. and then progress in walking. Sounds like she has been a very patient patient, content and amusing herself well. A real blessing. Thanks for the good news.
