Our little trooper
Our little trooper, Eli. Yesterday afternoon, Jonathan and I noticed that one of Eli's testicles was swollen and red. So we called the after hours pediatrician clinic. In just 1/2 hour we had a German doctor at our doorstep. The doctor did an exam on Eli and said that it could be a twisted testicle or a hernia. So we asked if we could take him to the doctor the next day......he said "no go to the hospital, now". Holy cow. Jon and I prayed that Jesus would heal little Eli's body. We were both at peace with taking him to the hospital. My first reaction was to panic, but God really gave me a peace. So about 9:30 p.m. we headed to the Kinderhospital in Basel, Switzerland. The doctors and nurses were so nice and all spoke very good English. They also told us that it could be twisted or a hernia, but only an ultrasound would tell. After the ultrasound it was confirmed there was only fluid build up and nothing was twisted, plus there was no hernia. Praise the Lord. Only time will heal the fluid. We are so proud of our little boy. He did so good at the hospital. During the ultrasound, he just starred at me and didn't make a sound. My heart just melted. We love our baby boy so much!! So thankful that he is okay.
