Progress....

  This is my grandson Skylar after his first day of school. His book bag looks as big as he does.
  I think this is his first baseball photo. I remember when he hit the ball and just stood on the plate and we yell, "Run , Skylar, run !!"  He takes off for first base, grinning at us the whole way. You know how some images are frozen in our minds ? Well that is one I will never forget.
 Here he is with his sister Savannah. So little and sweet.  They squabble at times, but are pretty close.  Once I told Savannah she would be looking some of his pals over, when she got older and she said , "Oh gross Nana".  LOL.
 Skylar had the skin graft on his arm. Which he needed. He may be coming home today. Of course going back and froth to Indy for follow ups.
 The school had the elevator inspected and it's a go for when Skylar can return to school.  His mother signed up for her family leave time, so she can be his care giver for a few weeks.
  I am thankful that Skylar 's injuries were not worse . So thankful he had that helmet on. Thankful for his good parents who will care for him.  I think Savannah will get to help out too, like getting Skylar this and that. Shh....don't want her to know too much. LOL. I am ever so thankful for all of you and your prayers and well wishes. Bless you all. XO

    1. Thank you Brenda. I remember a boy in our town went to school for all his H.S. years and the big kids carried him up/down stairs...he was handicapped. He graduated with his class on time too. I am just hoping Skylar can get to his classes once he is allowed to go back to school. He's got a few weeks at home for healing right now. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  6. Susie, I am so sorry to hear about Skylar! I remember when he was burned so badly. Life can be so frightening sometimes. My mom had a very bad week. I was at the nursing home every night after work. My blogging time has suffered. You and your dear family are always in my prayers.

    1. Lynne, I hate to hear this about your mom. I keep her in my prayers and thoughts. I thank you for your concern for Skylar...I spoke with him yesterday after he got home and he is doing well. He may not be out of school as long as first thought...that's is good news. I think Skylar has a bit of dare devil in him...hopefully this will calm him down a bit. Praying for your family, xoxo,Susie

    1. Thank you Linda. When my daughter named Skylar, she never dreamed girls would be getting named that too. Karen's in-laws call him Skeeter...and that's like nails on a chalkboard for Karen. LOL He is doing much better than we thought he would so soon. They are talking about him going to school in a week or so. He's a tough young man. Blessings, love you, Susie

  10. Susie,
    I hope Skylar starts to heal soon. These pictures are just precious, especially that first one of his school days. That's a funny story about the baseball game. Yes, we all have a few special memories that we will always remember. What a sweet post this is remembering Skylar through the years.

    love, ~Sheri
