To top off our luck..

Adam has been using this down time in our lives to achieve a major goal of his, he has gotten his body and mind into the best shape in his life. He works out often, which helps to strengthen his muscles so that his back does not go out as often, and he is close to a life long dream....running a marathon. Not only that, but this marathon was extremely special to him. Dylan is in the SRLA (Students Run L.A.) club at school and will be running the LA marathon with his classmates. Our plan was to go to LA in late May and have Adam run the marathon with Dylan. He has been so excited about this that he actually gave up our spring visit with the kids coming to us because we could not afford to do both. The plans have been made, hotels have been found, and excitement has been rising! Then on Saturday Adam took our dog, along with his parents dog Spirit on a quick run. This is a common thing, and the dogs know how he likes them to run, but this time spirit saw something that made him cross in front of Adam, Adam tripped over him and knew he was going down. He chose to protect his ankle, and landed all of his weight on the top/side of his right foot. Aidan was riding his bike with them, and Adam sat down in agony and asked Aidan to come get me. So Aidan rode his little legs off and rushed home and told me "dad has a situation and needs me" in a very urgent manner. By the time we got Adam home his foot was swollen about 3 X's the normal size, so in to the urgent care we went again. He had an X-ray and his foot is indeed broken. Not only that but the bone is separated so far that he will most likely need a pin to make it heal quickly and correctly.
So the marathon is out for sure, and the ability to even go on the trip is in question since we don't have any idea how long it will need a cast for.

The poor guy is going stir crazy. He is not one to sit around, especially when we are not even in our own house!
So now we are both pretty broken up :(
