So Rachel has a hole in her incision. It is a little bigger than this since we took this picture 2 days ago. It is still oozing out gunky stuff. We went in to the doctor on Tuesday because it was a lot. They said not to worry. We are going again today for a followup. We have been to the blood dr and they say her levels are ok to take her off lovenox so NO MORE SHOTS!! Her poor arms have about 7 bruises each. They will continue to monitor her blood levels for 6 - 12 weeks at the minimum then will do another ultrasound to see how the clot is doing. She has complained that her leg aches a bit today and it is about 1/2 inch bigger than the other. She is ready to go back to school but I think that wouldn't be good with an open wound. We will see what the dr says.
Brad has a bit more energy but is frustrated that he can't do all he wants to do. He is chomping at the bit to be able to play basket ball again. He did go play with the men last night and now is a big wiped out. He has had a little more energy lately.
Shannon finished up her therapy this week and has a follow up apt on Monday. Her knee is doing much better.
Michelle has started basket ball. She is working hard to keep her grades up so she can stay eligible to play.
Jenna is just Jenna. Loud, full of energy and crazy! It sounds like the state is cutting back on funding of therapy things so she may be done sooner than we thought.
Spencer has to go into the office 2 days a week now because some other lady didn't have integrity and so now everyone has to work from the office 2 days a week but she has to be there 5 days a week. He isn't very happy about that, but it could have been worse.
I am just trying to get life back in order a bit. crazy what happens in two weeks. Everyone here did a great job picking up the slack.
Thank you ALL for all the payers, meals, love and support (and watching crazy Jenna) while this was all going on. Even though our family was far away, we felt so loved and supported by all of you, especially our ward family! We love you guys!! We couldn't have done it without your help. THANKS!!

Oh my Heck.... That is quite the inscision...Poor girl. Give her a hug for me, she is a trooper.
Gross! Thanks for the detail & the thought of it oozing.. I'm glad she's home & Brad is feeling better & that Jenna is Jenna... I think she's a doll & loved teaching her class..
Let me know if you need anything
Oh Man!! We love you. It feels like sometimes when it rains it pours... then it flouds... Hope things start to settle down, and that open wound will get less oozy!
Sounds like your family is up and running at its quick pace again. I saw Anne S. at costco and she said she would give you a petition for the early intervention for me to sign. I hope services are spared some. How funny, Jenna just showed up here! She and Jake are gonna play for 5 minutes. :) They are so funny!
