This Is Us

So here is an update on Xander's foot... We have been keeping the burn cream, gauze, and the No Hurt tape, on. It was starting to get infected, it was all pussy and gross looking, so we started keeping a sock on it with all the bandage stuff underneath... and Nick and Dieter gave him a blessing. Silly Us... why didn't we think of that when it first happened??? I don't know why we didn't, but now that he's had a blessing it is looking so much better and he is doing so much better! He was walking on his toes for awhile, and we were carrying him around because we were afraid to put shoes on him, but now he's walking mostly normal again and we can get shoes on him. We ask him how it's feeling and he says "It's Okay". He has been very good about keeping all the bandage stuff, and a sock on it. We are glad that he has been such a big boy about this! Thanks Xander... Great Job!!! We Love You!!!... I know we can't leave out our princess... We Love ...

A piece dropped off and landed right into his flip flop. He can't get it off, because there is elastic on the back, as I'm running over there, he starts screaming louder. I try to run faster, but it feels like one of those dreams... You run and run and run but don't seem to move, so you try to run faster, and seem to get now where faster... I finally get to him, tell him to through the sparkler down and yank his shoe off. I can see this huge burned hole in his foot. I yell for Colleen, we run in the house and quickly put a COLD napkin on it. Colleen then looks at it again, and says that it's worse t...
