I haven't posted in ages! Life is so busy around here. On August 14th, Sarah fell on the pavement and broke her arm. We went to the Galion ER and they put a splint on it. She has a radial head facture. So, the following Tuesday, we trundled down to Dr. Dawson and he got to look at it. Turns out that he is a National specialist on that particular fracture. He did his college work about it and even helped design the implant for when it is shattered. He actually took the splint off. He said that the elbow is the least forgiving thing to regain complete range of motion. Although, if you have to break something, this is the break to have as it is very straightforward. Exercise is the key, though, to regaining complete motion. Well, her three week check-up on Tuesday and he said that the break was healing up very well and that she can use it for whatever (with caution of course). So she has another appointment in three months.
In the meantime, she has been felting a gnome for Alex. We are flying down there on October 2 to see Leilani. They are going to have her baptism the Sunday that we are there, so we are really, really thrilled! More about this topic later . . .
Life has been crowded with assorted doctor's appointments in the past three weeks. Sarah's arm, Mom and Sarah's follow-up with Doctor Kerbs (which went really well this time), Lydys, dentist. One fun thing is that I got to go to a massage therapist up in Mansfield. I have had four already and boy, are they wonderful. She is really working on my shoulders and neck. It is definitely something that I want to continue even after the insurance settlement.
The Tomato Show started yesterday. We got 24 entries total, eight of which were ours. We are considering closing the division down after this year. We barely filled the two quilt racks and two tables. Attendance seems down on the whole though. Even in the midway it is not very crowded. Not very fun when we are practically the only ones entering, and nobody is even enjoying looking at the things. So, we'll see.
