Or how about this one?
Or this?
Yeah.
I know.
Cute, right?
Unfortunately, this is the face that Samuel shows the world.
Huh? Why is that unfortunate?
Well, this past week we have been to the ER twice.
Samuel hurt his left leg somehow and he’s letting us know in no uncertain terms that he’s in pain.
However, once we arrive at the ER, this….
is the face that the doctors get to see.
Fortunately, our second trip scored us a specialist who truly heard us and was able to look past all that cuteness.
He sent us home with instructions to keep all that sweetness and light in rest mode over the weekend. Hopefully the injury is soft tissue related and will show improvement. If things continue on this path though, we are heading back into the ER on Wednesday morning. Next steps are a sedated MRI.
It’s painful to see him hurting and not know how to help him.
And it hurts to see him try to be so winsome all the time.
He’s a special little man and we can’t wait for the day when he is free to be just Samuel.
And not Samuel on stage.
Will you keep him in your prayers for the next bit?
Praying Shelley! He does have the sweetest face ever!
Praying for precious Samuel! I know he must wonder why all these trips to the ER and why can’t he just worry about playing and having fun instead of stopping for serious stuff. Praying for that smile to be without pain.
I will be praying for sure Shelley and will pass it on to other family members. What a sweet little boy you have, also praying for the day he can just be Samuel. love to each of you.
Praying. It is so hard in this time before “guard” is finally laid down…
You can COUNT on it!! Praying for precious Samuel ~ oh how I adore that sweet face of his! He is a TROOPER! Please keep us posted and know we’re praying for healing and for him to be able to “just be.” You should let Karen at New Day know, too, and she’ll put it on their prayer list and ‘knee time’ prayer chain ~ as Samuel has a LOT of admirers. <3
Give his sweetness a squeeze for me, will ya!?!
OXO,
Tanya
Oh no, we were so hoping little Samuel was all better by now. We will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep up updated.
