this boy

this is a boy who takes a fedora camping. this is a boy who promised to find a piece of gold for his sister to make her feel better because she didn't get to go camping. this is a sweet boy.

eliot was bitten on the finger by a massasagua rattlesnake sunday morning while camping. after many many doctors, many doses of antivenin, we are home safe again. he is doing well. his body systems are good, now we are dealing with the long process of healing his finger. time will tell if and how badly the venom damaged his sub-tissues, (if you feel up to it, you can click here and here to see photos of his finger) we of course are hoping that it did not, but even if it did, we are happy to have eliot back at home with us. thank you kind friends for all your support and prayers and help. we love you greatly and feel your love in return. eliot says he is feeling better and doesn't want you to think his arm is broken just because he is wearing a sling. this boy. i love this boy.
