Our son, Isaiah, has had quite a childhood. He is ALL boy! Isaiah, along with his siblings, decided to take a hatchet to chip away at an old fallen tree in order to make a canoe. They were down in the woods working away at this project when Momma came out and yelled to them to come into the house. One of the boys threw the hatchet and went running for the house. That hatchet landed right on Isaiah, taking most of his finger off. I rushed to him while yelling the Word. "By Jesus' stripes we are healed!" When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor told us that he couldn't do anything except finish removing his finger. I told the doctor to sew Isaiah's finger back on. He said, "Ma'am, you do not know what you are doing. If I sew his finger back on, he will get gangarene and lose his entire arm." "Sew it back on!" The doctor sewed it back on, and Isaiah has all of his fingers today.

The odd thing is, Isaiah had the same type of experience with his toe! His brothers had an old stop sign hanging on their bedroom door. Isaiah was pounding on the door demanding that his brothers let him into their room. While pounding, the stop sign fell taking most of his toe off. Again, Momma came yelling, "By Jesus' stripes we are healed!" Then off to the hospital we went. The doctor and I carried on the same conversation ending with the doctor sewing Isaiah's toe back on. As we were leaving, the doctor said, "And make sure he stays off from his feet." When we arrived back home, Isaiah opened the car door and went running out into the yard! We chased him down and took him into the house. The hardest part of the whole thing was keeping Isaiah off from his feet. He is a smiling boy, who loves Jesus and is happy to still have ten fingers and ten toes!

Isaiah isn't the only Foote kid to have a problem in this area. I am not kidding! When Jordan was around three years old, he had an old farming milk cooler close down on his hand. His finger was only held on by a piece of skin. The doctors in our little hospital do not like to sew fingers and toes back on when they are so severe. But, here comes this praying momma demanding that the doctor sew him back together. Jordan has all of his fingers today!
