Cub Scouts

Alex had his Space Derby races for Cub Scouts. The boys sand down and paint the space ships. Then they put rubber bands inside the space ship to help make it go. At the race, the boys wind up the rubber bands several times and put the space ship on a piece of string and let it go. Alex took 2nd place in his den!!!

Stitches says Bye-Bye

Shawn was able to get his stitches taken out of his head on Friday afternoon. Jordyn was a little sad to see them go. Everytime she looked at Shawn in the hospital, she had to tell him that he had a "spider" on his head. She thought the stitches looked like spider legs. So, we named them "stitches the spider". On Friday morning before she went to daycare, Jordyn had to say "bye" to Stitches!

On Thursday Shawn goes to get x-rays of his shoulder and see the Ortho Dr's. Hopefully they will be able to tell us what kind of time table we have to look forward to.

If Heather has to see the ER again......

She will go crazy! Tuesday night Jordyn was running around the house with a friend of hers. She fell and hit her head on the corner of the wall. So, off to the ER Heather goes again! Jordyn was such a trooper and was so brave. The Dr's ended up putting 3 staples in the back of her head. Poor girl!! Those will get taken out tomorrow afternoon.

Update

Shawn got home from the hospital Sunday afternoon. He is finding muscles that he never knew existed. He ended up with a broken collar bone, broken shoulder blade, cuts on this horehead and little cuts all over.

He will be off work for a while. We won't know more until Friday when he has a follow up Dr appt and gets his stitches out, ect.

Heather is working shorter hours during the day so that she can be at home more with Shawn as he needs it.

It sounds like the truck is not coming home....they are going to bury it in Worthington. There are pictures of the truck that other drivers took, but we haven't seen them yet.

We just thank God that he decided to keep Shawn here with us longer.

Good News

The Dr's have cleared Shawn to go home today. He has been getting up and walking a bit and actually took a shower today. That was a tiring ordeal for him. We are just waiting for the final OK and paperwork before we take him home.

He will be pretty wore out and sore for a while, but we are just thankful that he is ok and still here with us.

I am sure he would love to get cards, ect....

Not a Good Friday

As some of you already know, yesterday wasn't a good day in our family. When Shawn was out making his delivery for the day (he drives semi for McNeilus Steel), he took a sharp exit and his truck rolled. They figure he rolled 2-3 times. He was carrying sheet metal and they say it spread out like a deck of cards.

Shawn has a broken collarbone, some cuts on his forehead and is pretty well banged up. We are just thanking God that he isn't hurt worse than that. Thanksfully, Shawn always wears his seat belt. I didn't see the truck or anything as he was in SW Minnesota (Worthington). They decided to transport him back to Rochester before we could get to Worthington. It sounds like the truck is smashed beyond recognition.

Today (Saturday) is his 30th Birthday....what a way to spend it! Right now he is in St Marys hospital in Rochester. We are waiting to hear from the Dr's this morning to find out how long he will be there and what all needs to be done to his collar bone and shoulder blade.

Please keep Shawn in your prayers as he goes through this tough time.
