Zachary's Birthday and other summer fun

Zachary had a wonderful 3rd birthday.  Almost all of his cousins and family was here to celebrate with him, and he had an amazing day.  Unfortunately, this birthday was celebrated with a broken arm.  He broke his left arm after falling (or being pushed) from the ladder to the monkey bars.  It happened just a week prior to his birthday, poor guy.  Needless to say, it didn't slow him down very much.  He still had a great day, and summer!

His awesome cake from Grandma Taylor and Nina.

A red tractor "just like Mr. Worley", his bud!

July 4th with cousin Isabelle.

 Even a broken arm couldn't stop Zachary from throwing knock out punches to Daddy!

Daddy's birthday!!

And, as usual, Zachary out working hard in the yard with his boots and wheelbarrow.  He loves to be outside!!

He's the One

This little boy....


Once again I find him lethargic, can't hold his eyes open.  He can't stay awake long enough to drink his orange juice, to eat a cereal bar.  I keep talking to him, he can't stay awake.  Again?  Lord?  His sugar is too low, again, we think.  I finally get a cup of juice in him, without any results.  I fill another cup.  Still after an hour, he's still lethargic, can't hold his eyes open.  I get a tube of oral glucose, he takes it reluctantly.  Finally after another 30 minutes he comes around.  He's back to his bubbly 2 yr old self.  


My Zachary.  What you do to me.  Love. Fear. Laughter. Stress. Anxiety. Tears. Joy. You've humbled me.  And I long to know what's wrong, why do you do this?


We have an appointment with a pediatric endocrinologist in Knoxville after concern floods our pediatrician.  "This is twice", he says, "That's too many times".  


Okay.  I can do this.  He's my son, I'll do whatever I have to do.


I'm reminded of the anguish God felt when watching his son, suffering, hurting.  The heartbreak He felt was too much to bear.  I know God will take care of us, of Zachary.  He knows what we're going through.  He loves us.  


Zachary's the one that will make me gray before I'm 40, he's...well, he's just Zac!  He's the spark plug to our family.


Please pray for him and the doctors that they will discover what is causing this and that it is nothing serious.
