Rachel's ankle

I had written an email saying that Rachel was going to be having surgery, well the doctor is postponing that for at least 2 weeks. After I wrote the email he called me later in the afternoon and wanted me to bring Rachel back in to do more x-ray's. The other doctor in the practice didn't want to do this surgery on an 8-year old because of the pain factor. They are going to see how much healing she does over the next 2 weeks and if she is making progress then they will forgo the surgery all together. If it isn't making any progress then they will still have to do it. We are praying hard that she won't have to have surgery. I just do not want her to go through that at all. I was glad the other doctor could see how difficult it would be on such a young child. They came back from their dad's yesterday afternoon and she seems really good and didn't have to take any pain medicine while she was with him. We made funnel cakes (a great idea we got from Kevin and Jaime) and watched the High School Musical 2 encore. We sure have a great little family!! Even Cameron watched it with 2 of his friends-and no offense to those who liked it-but it wasn't near as good as the first!! I will keep you posted on Rachel's progress and send a picture of her in her bright orange cast later today!!

Rachel
We are praying for you and are sure hoping that you don't have to do the surgery. You are one tough cookie when recovering from broken bones. We just hope that this is your last one. How is school? Any new friends, yet? We love you, Grandad and Grandma
