The Patient November 1, 2010, at 9:48 pm | Yesterday, the girls played doctor; today, it was my turn. And I have to say, I think they’re better at it than me! I accidentally tore part of Susie’s big toenail off when I hit it with the corner of a door this afternoon, and boy oh boy, Susie let me know how much it hurt. I felt terrible that she was in pain, and even worse that it had happened by my hand. I bandaged up her toe and gave her all the TLC I could muster, but she was unwilling to walk for hours. She went from this silly, happy kiddo:
to a sullen, morose patient whose only comfort was watching TV with her feet elevated:
By the time she went to bed, she didn’t seem to be in too much pain, but she did make sure to tell her Daddy all the gory details, including who was responsible for her injury. Ouch!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!
