Home, elves and number three

I brought Amy home today sometime around 4:00pm. The drive was tiring for her, but she was glad to be home. Just like the cobbler, we had ‘elves’ visit our home while I was in Madison with Amy today. These elves came in and not only cleaned our house, but also did laundry and straightened our bedrooms. This was an extremely pleasant surprise and to those of you who did this, thank you ever so much!

While we were waiting for Amy to be discharged this afternoon, I received a call from the High School health office. Brittany was in complaining that her right wrist hurts so much that she was having a hard time writing. The nurse reported that Brittany has a sizable lump near her wrist on her right arm and that Brittany explained that her wrist has been hurting her since playing volleyball at youth group on Wednesday night (this was the first I knew about this!). Being in Madison, I arranged to have one of her friend’s take her to the ER where they looked at her wrist and took some x-rays. Because of swelling, etc, they were not able to make a definitive diagnosis, but feel there’s a good chance that she might have a fracture in her wrist. They put her thumb and wrist in a temporary splint and will re-examine in 3 or 4 days. I’m considering strapping the rest of the family to their beds in order to protect them!

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me – V

Vince & Amy,
I would give anything to be one of the elves who could come in to help out!!! I have been reading, following along as you describe this painfully honest yet spiritually uplifting journey. God is making a preacher out of you, Vince. Amy dear friend, I hold you close in my heart and ask God to encourage and strengthen you this very day. Please feel a big hug from me. So glad you are back home from the hospital. Tell Brittany that "Craig's woman" is praying for her, too! Bet she was beautiful in her homecoming dress. I'll call you cuz I got your number from Denise today. I love you both,
Sue Anderson
