Elijah-Bob was out playing at the neighbors house yesterday with his dad, when he slipped away, only to crawl under the fence into the horse pasture. Somehow, he received a severe kick to the right side of his forehead and ended up on the ground, unconscious! When Daddy found him a few minutes later, he was covered in blood and non responsive.
Ended up at Childrens Hospital in the trauma unit, only to be rushed into emergency surgery.
He had a slight tear on the lining of the brain that was repaired as well as a skull fracture that was putting pressure on the brain. The surgeons had to lift the bone and put it back into place, before stitching him up.
He is in the ICU Unit at TC Thompsons Childrens Hospital and they will be monitoring him for a minimum of 72 hours, watching for brain swelling and seizure activity.
God is so good to have "softened the blow," that could have been fatal....
We do serve an awesome God......
We will keep you posted....

We've been praying for you guys and Elijah!
Oh my goodness!! How scary... I'm glad that everything turned out fine. Little Elijah is in my prayers.
Amen! We sure do. I'm just so thankful he didn't get kicked in the temple area-that would have been fatal for sure. Praise God for His goodness! :)
If there's anything we can do for you besides praying, be sure to let us know!
We love you guys!
