It took longer than we expected...

For Joe to make his first hospital visit! While playing baseball with his older brother, Caleb, he fell on the frozen ground and broke his collarbone. It happened on Sunday afternoon. Of course, by Sunday night he was back running around the house with his arm hanging uselessly by his side.

He'll be in a sling for 3 weeks, meaning no ice-skating, tree climbing, bunk-bed jumping, or any other high-risk "sports" he enjoys. I just hope we don't get any snow between now and when he is cleared for activity. That boy loves to sled down our hill, and it will be hard for him to sit and watch.

It is also difficult for him to understand that the sling is there to help him. He is already taking it off when not watched. Say a prayer for him (and us) that he heals quickly.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving!

Take care,

Jay and family

Hi Jay,

Best wishes for a quick and speedy recovery for your son. I know all about those " sports related injuries."
