Things you learn from kids!

My oldest son Dalton, broke his left arm 8 months ago playing baseball and he wore a cast for almost 4 weeks. When the accident happened the doctor that was treating him told us that he would be in a cast for up to 6 weeks, have a MRI, and need surgery. We were surprised that they took the cast off early and never followed up with the rest of the treatment. A few weeks ago, we finally was able to get a doctor to order a MRI. Dalton has had pain every since they removed the cast and we were scared that the injury didn't heal correctly. We were right. Yesterday i finally got my hands on the written report from the test. We are so thankful that we have an appointment with a nerve specialist on Wednesday. Dalton is worried that since baseball season starts soon, he will not be able to play. Last night when i went down the hall to tell the kids goodnight, i stopped when i heard Dalton talking in his room. I thought maybe he was on the phone or just playing with the dog. He was in there praying. He was actually on his knees beside his bed. I could not help but cry when i was listening to his prayers. He was praying for healing. He actually asked the Lord to heal him. Dalton's words were plain when he spoke the words "Dear Lord, please heal me so my parents will not have to pay any more money to fix my arm." When i heard him say Amen, i walked into his room and he told me that he just finished praying and asking the Lord to heal him. He said that he didn't care if he missed baseball, he just didn't want us to have anymore co-pays. I told him that he shouldn't worry about that. Then i will never forget what he said next. He said parents worry about money all of the time, kids need to learn that it's not all about them all of the time. It's amazing what kids say everyday and what the little ears hear. Since we started over with the going from doctor to doctor trying to find the answers on why he is still in pain, i was worried about how he would feel if he didn't get to play ball this year. All this time i never thought that he was worried about us. I am grateful for my children and i learn something from them everyday! Tonight before i go to sleep not only will i pray for healing for Dalton but i will say a prayer of thanksgiving for him. This morning when i took the kids to school, Dalton reminded me that everything was going to be ok and for me to stop worrying about him. He is growing up more everyday! God Bless!
