It had to be BOTH of them....




So today was interesting....I spent 3 hours in the ER with Darien and he broke BOTH of his wrists. Poor guy. Last night he was at basketball practice and was messing around at the end. He was jumping off of the bleachers and dunking the ball in a lowered basket. On the last one, he grabbed the rim and then fell right on his hands and fell hard enough to get a good goose egg on his forehead. So all night he was wimpering and whining that his wrists hurt. This morning I took him in and sure enough....2 broken wrists. Right now he has soft casts on until we get into see the orthopedic doctor next week and then they will put on hard casts. You can imagine ALL of the things that he can't do. Which includes EVERYTHING! You would think that with as many children are in our family that we would have had more broken bones. NOPE, this is the first broken limb, or anything for our family!! I am sure that Uncle Ryan can especially sympathize with Bugz right now.

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
