I have been praying, Maddie. I will continue to pray. My boys will pray for Toby in a special way and we pray a daily Memorare for your financial concerns. I'm sorry that you are suffering so. Maybe you can find some consolation at Our Mother's Garden of Sorrow.
Love,

You are so very precious! Thank you for inquiring about Toby and I apologize for not updating sooner.
Let's see, I think it was Monday night last week that all the pain started again and he was unable to walk Monday night and Tuesday. Looking back now, I can see that there were two things that happened on Monday that caused him pain. The first was his little sister dropped a book on his foot, the other was  , I sat on his foot while we were snuggling down to read a book together and his foot got pinched between the cushions of our chair. Both typical events in our household, so they went unnoticed until we recalled the events in hindsight.
Our GP referred us to a podiatrist who had X-rays taken of Toby's foot. They didn't find any metal (yeah!) stuck in his foot but suspect a splinter instead that will probably make it's way out. He akso said the foot may be sensitive for sometime. So, unless we see swelling or drainage again, we believe (thanks be to God) that the danger has passed and life for our little guy is back to normal!
Funny enough, the cost of treating Toby's foot was cheaper without insurance! God is so good.
We are all so very grateful for your prayers, I know they carried us through this very difficult time.
God bless you!

I am so happy to hear that Toby is doing well! And very relieved to hear about how the cost for all this panned out! Yes, God is so good to us!
I am still praying for your family.
God Bless,

Okay, I feel like a yo-yo. All was well until this week with little Toby, then all of a sudden his foot swelled and what I call "peaked". It looks as if whatever is in his foot wants out and it's pushing to the surface. The doctor said enough is enough, he's going in.
So, Toby is scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 7 am. They have to sedated him, but he'll be out of the hospital by tomorrow afternoon. I am relatively calm about it.  Toby and I paid a visit to the Blessed Sacrament on the way home; I have complete trust in Our Lord, but prayers would be very welcome.
Hopefully, this will be the last of it!
Thank you for all the prayers.

Maddie, I've missed updates while away and since I've come back from down south, I am so sad that your Toby has been through SO MUCH with his foot and for you too Maddie, I can only imagine how you have been feeling..
I will be praying for him and recommending him to St Anne as her feast draws near.

Thank you for the update, Maddie. Like you I hope this "will be the last of it!" for Toby and your sake.
I hope and pray things are going better with the rest of your intentions as well.
(((HUGS)))
