Broken Bones and A Great Play!

WOW! What a day yesterday! I am surprised I am still sane at this moment! Yesterday morning I was cleaning the house and Steven was getting ready for work! We had just had a quick breakfast together and I was thinking it was going to be a great day! WRONG! We got a phone call from Kalob's school. Actually, it was from the nurse at the school! She said Kalob was injured and we needed to take him to urgent care! WHAT! With no makeup on and no shower I get into the car with Steven and we race to the school! Kalob is wheeled out in a wheel chair! His right foot is totally swollen! We race him to urgent care and Steven is cancelling his appointments for the day. They x-rayed Kalob and told us they think he has a broken ankle but they are not sure. OK, you are not sure. That was a waste of time! We then called an orthopedic specialist hoping to get in to see them but not expecting to! Well, they could see him that afternoon! WOO HOO! Some good news! So we go and they tell us that Kalob broke the growth bone in his right ankle! He is devastated! They said that they are not sure if he can dance in the recital coming up! OH MY GOSH! He has worked so hard for that! Poor little guy! I was crying, he was crying! He goes back in 2 weeks to see how it is healing. They will tell us then if he is able to perform. They said that they have a special brace that he could wear if he is healing properly. So I guess we will see! He is in a boot that is so high tech! It can have air put in or taken out to his comfort! But it is really heavy and very hard to walk in. They also gave him some meds to help him. We had to pick up Eric soon so that he could come home and eat before he had to get ready for his play. So we drop off the RX and then run to get Wendy's for dinner. Steven ran to get the RX and on the way back a car backed out and hit him! AAAAHHHHH! Come on! This day was already bad enough! He is alright. No damage to him at all. People need to watch what they are backing into! So we rush to get Eric and eat dinner! I was finally able to shower! Which I really needed! We make it to Eric's play which was wonderful! I am stunned by how well he did! For never being in drama he was fantastic! People came up to us and were floored when they found out this was his first play! They thought he had been performing for years! It was weird seeing him kiss a girl on stage though! LOL! The play was hilarious! We really needed to laugh! I can't wait to go back next week and see it again and again! I am so proud of Eric! When he puts his mind to do something he does it and does it well!

Kalob is having a rough day today! The pain is horrible! The doctor had to call in another RX to help with the pain and we had to soak his foot in a bucket of ice water! That was unpleasant! :( Hearing him cry is the worst sound in the world! I wish so badly that I can take the pain from him!
