Yesterday

Yesterday ended up being a pretty major day. Monday evening at the board meeting it was voted on to cut 2 teachers from the elementary school due to declining enrollment and very small classes. The news that I was one of those came yesterday morning, right before I left school to take Tyler to KC for a doctors appointment. So, luckily my mother-in-law went with me and kept me occupied, although there was still a lot of "think" time and many tears. Who knows what will be in store for me now. A song has been running through my mind constantly for the last 24 hours that I haven't heard in years: "When God closes a door, he opens a window." Well, I'm bright eyed ready to see the open window and what lies ahead. Pray that I will welcome it with open arms.

On the KC doctor appointment note, Tyler's surgeon said things seemed to be healing. Amen for that. He didn't see signs of a current infection but wants us to continue the antibiotic for the next 10 days until we go back next Thursday, the 23rd. He has a splint with a wrap around it, but we were told he can take it off and soak his foot for 5 minutes or so every day. This also means he can actually sit in the bath tub --- yeah, no more sponge baths. Continue to pray for healing in his foot and his own patience as he gets around slowly. He had been hopping around a lot, but that may have contributed to the rubbing on his foot so he's to use his walker and not hop --- doesn't seem quite "fast" enough for him.

On the cute side of things, here is a picture of Andrew who was able to spend the afternoon with Kaitlen Ortman yesterday. I know they had a blast!!! I couldn't get him to leave and the picture tells it all. Thanks for wonderful friends to help out!!!
