As much as I worried about this happening to one of our kids, I never really thought it would.   But it did and we are thankful for some space between that scary day and now.   Physically Josh continues to heal very well.  The incision on his head looks better and better.   He's due for a short arm cast next week and that should give him some much desired freedom.   The laceration on his leg has probably been the slowest to heal, but it was something that we put to the side because of all the bigger concerns at the time.   Overall, he's doing very well.  He is missing his class trip this week, which is hard, but we will find ways to celebrate on our own!

This has been such a great way to keep everyone connected, thanks for reading.  I hope you don't, but if you ever find yourself in a similar spot, Caringbridge has been a wonderful site to help families through some of life's most difficult times.   I highly recommend it.

I decided to embrace my grey hair about a year ago and the last three weeks have accelerated that experience.  We never know what life will bring us!   

All I can leave you with is to make the best of each and every day you and your loved one's have together.  Life can change in an instant.   Wear your bike helmets and remind your kids to always be aware of driveways and alleys.  Also, it is ALWAYS better to be late than reckless, so please drive and ride and walk and run with caution!  

Thanks for the love.  We are forever grateful.  Never stop showing up for each other and I pray we can do the same for you.
