A little miracle

So I want to write about this so ellie can always remember about her miracle. We have windows that slide up and have a spring thing in them to hold them open. Well, as with many things in our house the springs are broken. So we put a board under the window to hold it open. It has been a very warm winter this year so the girls window has been open. Last night ellie decided to close it. These are very heavy windows, and with no spring to hold it when she moved the board the window crashed down on her hand.  We heard the crash and then screaming.  We all ran as quick as we could from wherever we were.  Harrison got there first and pulled window up off her hand.  As we looked at her hand we knew it was broken.  There was no question.  The middle finger bent in the middle of the top bone at an unnatural angle. 

We briefly talked and decided that she couldn't wait until tomorrow but if we hurried we might be able to get it done at an urgent care instead of emergency room which would drastically cut down on the fee.  She was freaking out.  Not only did it hurt and look gross but she could not stomach the thought of a broken finger.  She kept crying, "It can't be broken, it just can't be broken"  We were heart broken for her since we knew without a medical degree that her finger was broken. 

We had John give her a blessing and packed her hand in ice and headed out the door.  By the time we got to an open urgent care and checked her in we looked at the hand again, the bone was bending back.  It almost looked normal.  We didn't know what to think.  We took her back they did the xray and the doctor came back and said it wasn't broken.  He couldn't explain how it could look the way it did and not be broken. 

We got things like, kids are resilient.  Kids bones are softer and not so easy to break.  She is just lucky.  For her, she knows that she prayed hard to Heavenly Father to not let her finger be broken. (She is left handed and it was on her left hand.), and he fixed it.  She said I had faith that he could and when dad gave me the blessing it fixed it.  I don't have any explanation for it.  But I like her answer better than any others. 

The other minor miracle in the mix is with finances as tight as they are, another 75.00 copay was going to cut out food for the next week.  But earlier in the day I got a last minute cupcake order that would be 72.00.  No one does those kind of orders the week before Christmas.  I firmly believe that was my miracle. 

I am so humbled by my daughters faith and have such a testimory of the Lords love and for us.
