The Eye of Kris

I worked from home this morning so that I could be here when the doctor called with the x-ray results. That way, if we needed to take Owen anywhere else, I wouldn't have driven all the way to work just to come right back. Owen was still crawling around, playing happily, and I was almost resolved to just accept that his ankle was broken somewhere and we would have to see more doctors and possibly get a cast put on.

Just a few minutes ago, though, Mary called me into the other room and there was Owen, standing up! He said "Daddy - I walk" and he ran over to give me a hug (not a fast run, but more than a walk). We were so excited and made sure to thank God right away.

Mary went ahead and called the doctor's office to see if there was any news. The woman who answered the phone initially said that the doctor could call us back sometime this evening, but when Mary explained that we were waiting on x-ray results for our son, she took a look at the x-rays herself and said that she didn't see anything wrong. I'd still like to hear it from the doctor, but I am fairly confident at this point that Owen's foot is fine and will be back to normal very soon.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for him. I'm going to go to work now.
