OUCH!!

Poor Kevin!

I had just stepped into the office today at work to deliver a naughty student to the principal, and the secretary handed me the phone and told me it was the nurse calling from Chugiak High School because Kevin was hurt. He was playing basketball at lunch and some kid ran backwards into Kevin as he was turned sideways. Hit him with the back of his head and fractured Kevin's orbit bone in his face. 

I took him to the emergency room and there we spent 5 hours waiting, and waiting, and finally getting a CAT scan, and told he had fractured his orbit in two places!  He is on heavy meds and will be the ENT doctor on Thursday. 

He is in a lot of pain and right after taking a pain pill threw it all up.  Hasn't eaten since lunch. And he usually eats a ton!  You can't even imagine how much he eats!  He is over 6 feet tall now. Towers over me.  Texts all the time, is doing pretty well at school except for English.  No basketball for a while!

New Grand-daughter

We are so excited to have a new grand-daughter.  We will be heading down to see her soon!

Fishing in Alaska







Rich had a wonderful time with friends fishing on the Kenai. They floated down the river in a boat and caught tons of fish, but then let them all go. It was a male bonding day!
