an injury

First off, I'll leave you with a couple photos Michael took with one of his film cameras.
 This one is of Ty and I one Saturday morning just after we woke up.
Look at those juicy lips on my little boy!! This was taken at my niece Madisons 1st birthday party.

We just found out Becky and Brent are expecting their second child, due October 31. I'm LOVING all these babies in my life.
 Heres our family just hanging out at home. Ty busy playing with some books, me reading/relaxing, and Michael probably looking at something to do with photography.

Michael went to play church Basketball Tuesday night, and has been going once a week for probably over two months now, but after about 10 minutes into his game, he walked in the front door limping. He made a shot on the court and was going to go for the rebound but someone else got it, and he planted his foot and turned off to go, and he heard and felt a POP in his ankle/leg! He could put no weight on it, and headed home. Shortly after getting home he was in SO much pain. It was 11pm and we decided to take him to emergency so we called my Mom to come watch Ty, and headed. The wait in emergency was about 6 hours and nothing was moving along, and the pain had started to subside if he wasn't using his leg, so we came home. The next day we went to the doctors and he said Michael should get an ultrasound. We called and they wouldn't be able to get us in until April 26, so we went on a waiting list. Friday they called and said they could squeeze him in that morning. He had the ultrasound and they said it was a severe partial tear of the achilles and would need to see a surgeon as soon as possible. So we went to the doctor to get a referral and he said Michael won't be able to go to work for at least 2 weeks and he prescribed an aircast. So hopefully we will see the surgeon early this coming week to see if Michael will need surgery at all, and if not, hopefully we can get a better idea of how long this healing process will be. Michael is kind of sad about not being able to play on a soccer team this summer that he had planned to. We are just praying that he will be able to heal well enough to play sports again. So at least the next two weeks will consist of lots of time with my two favorite guys. I'm definitely looking forward to the time together with our little family.
I'm sure there will be lots more photos like this to come.
