Happy Birthday Wes! He is now 7 years old.
He's doing great after his 19 hour stay at the hospital to top off his birthday celebrations. It was an asthma attack which we now think was because of him watching me as I spray painted four Ikea magnet boards for Mel's room. Don't know why I didn't put that together as a possible cause. So we're relieved to know it wasn't an allergy to something and that it'll be pretty simple to keep it from happening again.
He had a fun time in the hospital, except for when he hated it. He really liked the bed that went up and down and would try to tell his siblings about it and show them the noise it made by holding the phone up to the button on the bed rail. He had a little thing on his pointer finger to read his heart beat, so he was a little annoyed to be stuck in the bed attached to the string.
He said to me "They are treating me like a puppy!" - cause he felt like he was on a leash. We let him off for a little bit and he joined Sophia and I looking out the window at the exciting parking lot.
For the next several hours, he'd also occasionally burst out "Are we just going to keep sitting here or what?!?!" So lots of time just sitting there, but we are all thankful that he is okay and grateful for modern medicine. What a blessing.
Something else cute, at dinner a few nights ago, Wesley's prayer went something like this:
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank thee for this day. We're thankful for our food. Please bless that...when we go to the tree farm... that none of us will be charged by a daddy deer. Please bless that none of us will fall into the bushes on the rope swing. Please bless that none of us will be dragged into a fox hole. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
It was really cute. Even I almost laughed out loud, but was able to keep it in, it was a really cute prayer, very sincere prayer of a sweet little kid. Love you Wes!
