His feet look great now!
What his club feet looked like at 5 days old
Come the blessings. Of that I have no doubt! I took little Isaiah to the ortho today anticipating his casts to be changed out and replaced for another 3-4 weeks. The ortho said that his feet looked SO good, they did not have to be recasted, and he will just have to wear a brace at night from now on. That was BIG news to me, and I know it is a direct result of any answer to many prayers. He was healed a month earlier that the Dr thought he could be. Around Christmas time, Isaiah was completely miserable since the set of casts he had went up over his knees and kept his legs in a bent position. There were many days when he would cry all day and all night. I was so exhausted and so discouraged that I could not comfort him to the point that I would end up in tears myself. Dre gave him a couple father's blessings, but even that did not help him settle down. We have Tylenol with Codeine for his pain, but after dad mentioned that Codein is a narcotic and highly addictive, I have been hesitant to give it to him. I had a major melt-down last week and literally prayed night and day, pleading with Heavenly Father to help Isaiah deal with this trial at such a young age, and to make me strong enough to handle it too. But then I also told Him I am done with the challenges He has given us for the past 4 years and needed some breathing room. I knew he would answer my prayers, I just didn't expect it to be this way. But I am SO happy about it! Isaiah seems so much happier already- now we just have to have this brace made and we are good to go. I have such a testimony that Heavenly Father will not give us more than we can handle. When we finally let go and walk a few steps into the darkness, proving to ourselves how strong we really are & how much faith we really have, we are blessed in unexpected ways. Thank you all for the prayers and fasts. I know the little Weber girls pray for Isaiah all the time- thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
