Second Opinions

I have never had to get a second opinion before, but we are getting one next week. Riain hurt his knee during practice and I have one doctor say it is broken and another say it is not. I am irritated because the specialist did not even look at the xrays very carefully.

It is fuuny because we take doctor's word for gold. But Riain is in pain and I am no doctor, but I know my son. I pray his knee is not broken.

He is so upset, because he is out for at least a few weeks. If it is broken, then maybe the season. He is honorary team captain until he can play again. But it is no fun on the sidelines.

So keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, and maybe the next doctor will look a little closer.

Forever and a Day

So I know it has been forever since I have blogged, but I rarely have time to breathe. I thought I might check in and give everyone a little update of what's going on in the Nelson house. Where to begin...

School is going good for everyone. Riain is doing well in third grade. Alycia has adjusted nicely to middle school. She has been very responsible with everything. Christian could be better. It is always a struggle with that boy, but we are trying to work through it. As for me, my class is great. I am lucky, I have a good class. They can get a little talkative, but so can I. I have been very busy, there is so much more then just teaching. I think things are starting to level off. I hope so at least.

Ok, let's move on to sports. Christian is playing 7th grade football. His team is 2-0, so that is cool. He has had a few plays, but he is loving it and that is all that matters for now. Riain's team is 2-2. We won our game yesterday. So that was awesome. Riain had a sack, it was so exciting. He was so happy. Alycia is in training for cheerleading tryouts. We have her in a cheerleading class and she is going to get private lessons. I want to make sure she is ready for tryouts in the spring. She has been working on her roundoff back hand spring and I think will have it down in a month. The private lessons will help her get her jumps and all the other things that will help her make the squad. It is harder then it used to be and way more competitive.

Well I guess that is all the news for now. I will post a few football pics next time. Hope you all are doing well. Until next time...
