Down But Not Out

It's 1:35 AM.

I'm just returning to the office after spending the last five hours in the hospital emergency room. Shannon broke her foot playing volleyball.

Grandma and Grandpa took the kids home and put them to bed and we sat in the ER waiting for the results of the x-ray. Poor Shannon waited almost three hours for pain medicine. She has a small but painful fracture in the top of her foot and possibly a ruptured tendon. She'll see the orthopedic surgeon later today (Friday).

It'll be interesting to see how she takes care of five kids, runs the home, and keeps me in line with a cast on her foot. It ought to slow her down to normal super-human speed.
