No More Stitches!

Today was a big day for Calen! He got his stitches out! Yeah, I can’t believe that only a week ago he was in my arms bleeding and needing to get stitches to mend the gash in his head. He was very brave as the same doctor came to remove the stitches ( a little leery of course when he first saw him), only crying a little thinking that the doctor was going to hurt him more. But after it all, he even gave the doctor a high five. The doctor said that Calen was healing well and that the wound just needed time to dry out by itself, so we are so grateful that nothing else was wrong and that God was watching over him even though he fell. I am glad too as it’s hard as a mom to see your child hurt and not be able to do anything to help them. But he is good and will have a great story to tell his friends and family one day about his time in Cuenca. We celebrated with some time at the mall for the kids to play and even a little ice cream!

Of course no day would be complete for Travis if he didn’t get to spend some time at CEDI listening to the riders play football over the internet, though not the outcome he really wanted! But fun none the less! However, leaving CEDI he was unable to reset the alarm and the rest of the night we all spent time up there trying to get it going again. Even after getting Bolo and the guy from the alarm company, nothing was fixed so that wasn’t great. But we have been told, this happens from time to time so just to be patient and learn who to call and what to do. I think we experienced this a few times in Brazil (Hey guys? Randy, Russ, Matt?) too! Got to have a few of these times to experience here as well. (It’s fixed now though!)
