I honestly don't know if we will make it now. We'll see what the orthopedist says on Thursday. On Saturday, we enjoyed what was probably the best baseball game of Charlie's entire season. Charlie and his novice crew, were pitted against a very organized and skilled team of bigger kids. There were also twice as many of them as there were of us. We had 7 players to start, and one left in the middle of the game!
Charlie's team was outmatched, but they were hitting balls, stealing bases, and seemed blissfully unaware that they were getting hammered. Or maybe they knew and they were just having fun. God knows we parents were! We were laughing and cheering and I'm sure the other parents couldn't figure out why we were so darn happy that we were losing.
Who would have known, after our last game of the season, that just a few hours later we would be with Charlie in the E.R., waiting to have his Condylar Fracture repaired. Richard stayed with Charlie in the E.R. for over 8 hours, letting me leave when the doctor told him that Charlie would have to be sedated and have his arm reset. Richard also missed poker night. He never misses poker night.

Hope things are looking up. Sorry you're last few months have been such a bummer. Look on the bright side. At least we aren't going through a down time at the same time like we did 10 years ago. Miss you.

Hi, I've been following your blog from time to time. Now I see that you haven't posted for a while. I hope everything is ok with you and your family, and that Charlie's arm is healing. My son had an upper arm fracture at about the same age as Charlie and though it was probably less complicated, he was still in a lot of pain for a while. He did physio and today his arm is completely ok again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous! I have been dealing with a lot, and I thank you for you comment and positive story about your son's arm. I hope Charlie follows in you son's footsteps!!! I will probably do one more post, and then I'll be closing shop. Thank you for reading!!! xo-Shelayna
ReplyDeleteAs you still haven't made that last post, I'd like to say that that I've truly enjoyed your blog, and actually read parts of it almost like a novel. For instance, the point where your husband falls into the hole in your garden is great literature, and something *my* husband would have done given the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy family lives in a very mixed community with people from at least 60 different countries. I believe very strongly in the fact that people are people whatever their background, and that it is very important (imperative?) to communicate from the not-so-white communities to rest of western world just how incredibly similar we all are. And I think you've done that very well.
I hope you'll get back to blogging when things have sorted themselves out. The only positive I can come up with is that the saying about time being a great healer in my experience is entirely true.
I really hope things will work out for you and I'll light a candle for you.
Hugs from the same
