FIRE!

Yesterday afternoon one of my dearest friends K picked Calob up from School so that he could spend the night with his best buddy C.

They were going to play the Wii, be boys, have a good time and then today they were going to a Birthday Party. I spoke to K yesterday evening and she told me that Calob would be home late Saturday afternoon.

Well imagine my surprise when Calob was knocking on my bedroom window at 7 this morning.

Soot all over his face, singed hair was upon his head, blisters on his ear, burn mark on his arm as well as flash burn to his hand and blisters on the bottom of his feet.

There was a fire that started in C's room. He got up and went to get his parents. Calob was still asleep in that same room. When K got there to wake him up she couldn't get in the room due to the fire and the inability to see where he was without her glasses.

So she kept hollering. Calob! Calob! Calob! You have to get up and come to me.

He woke up and the whole room was on fire even the carpet was melting.

My son had to run through the fire in order to get out.

It could have been so much worse. I am thankful for my friends. I am proud of my son for being the brave little guy he is.

Here he sits next to me in a cover after his shower, scared and afraid. He still smells like the fire. He's worried about his best buddy cause he lost his pet sugar glider in the fire. He's worried about C's little sister's and them not having anything. So much for one little guy to have to bare.

They lost everything in the fire. All they have are the pajamas they were wearing. They do have insurance but it will be sometime before they get everything back to the way it once was.

We're just thankful that everyone is ok. Please lift this wonderful family up in your prayers.

They are very special to us. We love them dearly.
