Friday August 28 (pictures)

I let Elsie sleep as long as possible this morning.
She has been so tired and worn out!
She was happy and got all ready.
But could not go to the bathroom.
When she gets tired, her muscles get tight.
ALL muscles :(
So it gets pretty hard for her to relax and let go.
Well, it was time to leave for school and she hadn;t gone yet.
I wasn't gonna send her to school again without going potty.....
So I left her home with dad while I ran Port to school.
He did good, he hesitated a little, but then ran off the class.
Got home and it took about 45 minutes before she was able to go.
But she went!
Yay!
So then I took her to school, and she went into class and was excited and ready for the day.
So it was good.
Dad had an appointment with the back doc.
He has been 'feeling' it more and wanted to make sure things were okay.
He did not expect to hear what the doc had to say.
Things did not look good.
His back has slipped 10 degrees.
Not sure what degree it needs to be at, but he was at 38 when the brace came off.
Now he is at 48 degrees.
When Brent asked what we could do about it, doc said 'Surgery'.
Oh man!
He wants to fuse Brent's back.
I think he was in a bit of a shock.
He said, no way!
But then doc said there might not be a choice.
He is going to go back in on Tuesday and get and MRI.
And then we will watch it close to see if the slippage is just due to settling, or if it is constantly unstable.
So prayers, again, would be so appreciated.
We were quite bummed out for the rest of the day.
Not only does he NOT want to go through the whole thing again.......but he has absolutely no sick leave left!
So we will wait and see what the MRI says before we go in panic mode....
But our prayer is to obviously avoid surgery, and that his back with fuse on it's own.
The kids had a good day at school.
Elsie had some refusal after lunch when her teacher wanted to take the class out to play soccer.
But Ms Chris said that they would practice together so she would feel comfy doing it with the class. :)
Cassi had two friends come home with her after school.
Laynie and Madi.
These two girls just happen to be the little sisters of Madi's friends, that happen to be boys.
One of them she happens to like a lot, and he likes her :)
Anyway, these girls and Cassi are like three peas in a pod.!
They just met each other when school started and I can tell that they will be lasting friendships.
And I don't want to forget to write down how absolutely nice Madi was to Cassi and her friends :)
It was very refreshing! :)
Dad and I had a little night out to get some birthday presents for Madi Bell and we also went out to eat.
It was a good night.
