Poor baby noodle!

Remember how I said the kids are so very aware that something is wrong?  Well tonight we got our first good taste of how worried they are, and it just breaks our hearts.

We had Wii family night tonight, so the kiddos got to stay up late.  And they had no naps, so I guess their emotions were right at the surface cause they were so exhausted.  But at the end of the night right before we tucked them in Wyatt just climbed up in Josh's lap and melted down.  In his sad, sad voice he said, "I want to give you a card cause there is blood in your arm!"  And then he just cried and clung to Josh like he was leaving him or something.  You know to a 4 year old giving someone a card can make everything better. And it is just so very sad that he has no other words to describe what is wrong other than "there is blood in your arm".  Josh has been continually poked in the arms over the last 2 months, but he is careful to remove the bandages before we get home, so I'm not really sure why this aspect has upset Wyatt.  And why out of the blue, when we having been discussing it or even been to the doctor in the last six days.  And that is almost the saddest part - evidently this in on his mind a lot.

We did our best to comfort him, and he was finally calmed down cause I took him to the school room and let him write in Josh's father's day card.  We decided we are going to celebrate Father's Day tomorrow, so he can give the card to Josh first thing in the morning.  That works out best for us anyways, since Josh works Sundays and couldn't really spend the day with us anyways. 

So please pray for our little Wy noodle - that his heart is protected from all that is going on.  That he isn't afraid.  And that he is able to talk to us when he is worried.  It is so hard for him to verbalize this kind of stuff at his age, so he definitely needs prayers in that area.  Thanks, friends!
