Duct Tape, Maybe?

My son is a very active seven year old boy. He is used to running to get where he wants to go, not walking. He does somersaults at random, and continuously is always finding something to climb or jump on....and he just had surgery, less than a week ago, and given a four week restriction...no climbing, running, bike riding, jumping, flips, playing around dirt, swimming, etc...

He doesn't seem to get how all that can affect the stitches in his eye, and tear them apart, causing big problems, that may include another trip to the hospital, making it even longer before he can do these things. He has been running around in the house, even after being told repeatedly not to. Also, somersaulting, hanging upside down on the couch, climbing on stuff...I am about to pull out my hair. All I can do is remind him, over and over if necessary, and pray. That is what I have been doing for the past few days. He seems to be even more active today, for some reason, and I have had to remind him several times. 

The next three weeks are going to be LONG...

He has several things to do here at the house, that don't require a lot of moving, thanks to some friends who gave him some card games, and some really cool building toys (Legos, and a set to build some other things), plus he has video games, and we have movies. He just is so active, and is having a hard time sitting still for very long. If you think about it, could you please pray for us? 

Thanks for reading!
