Chapel and the hospital

The day began like any other day except for the fact that Chloe was a little more excited today.  Today her class was going to participate in Chapel at school.  Her class was going to say their memory verse for the entire elementary school.  Mindy went to watch her at school.  The school theme for the year is living stones and this morning they learned about faith.  Chloe's memory verse was Genesis 1:3 "God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."  Each student was carrying a piece of paper with black on one side and yellow on the other.  As they recited their text they flipped the paper over to show the light.  I have heard that it was really cute.




Shortly after Mindy got home from seeing chapel she got a phone call from one of the teachers at school saying that Chloe had hurt her toe.  Mindy went to the school and was told that Chloe got her toe pinched in the metal teeter totter.  Together with a good friend, on the advice of the school nurse, they went up to see the doctor in Petionville.  The doctor took one look and said we better get her to the hospital.  So down they went, to the hospital.  After a quick x-ray which showed an open fracture, a small surgery and couple of stitches Chloe was bandaged up and cleared to head home.  She now has to take pain medication in addition to the antibiotics she was already on for an ear infection.  Pray for a good recovery, that she doesn't have too much pain and that it doesn't get infected.
