Thankfullness Day#4

As a friend said tonight, rather she posted, “there is not a sound on the planet more beautiful than the laughter of my children. Thank you Lord for blessings.” This statement is so true and I agree completely, and I will add that it is sweeter when one of your children can still laugh and keep her sense of humor through a rough day like she had today.

Today Abigail was playing on the playground at school before lunch and from the information we have gotten out of her she slipped off the monkey bars, well she is a monkey! When she went to brace herself, BAM! She fractured her left arm. She fussed of course I mean who would not, bless her heart, UNTIL we got into the ER room with a TV that had cartoons. Nothing like the Pink Panther to calm a hurt kid down! LOL!

Even in the midst of it all, she still managed a grin!

So I got to thinking about Nathanael when he broke his arm. So I am going to do some comparisons.

Nate
Arm: left
Location: just above the wrist
Where: Ringgold Elementary
When: 12 November 2005
Grade: 3rd

Abby
Arm: left
Location: just above the wrist
Where: Ringgold Elementary
When: 4 November 2009
Grade: Kindergarten

SEE A PATTERN?

Although we were hit with adversity today we are thankful the accident was not worse than it could have been. She is hurt but healthy. I would prefer not to see the ER again this year. This is the FOURTH time we have been to the ER this year without duplicates, in order of ER appearance this year: Nate, Tina, Zach and Abigail.

Today we are thankful for positive outcomes from adverse situations.
