2023 :: 25/52 :: The Lake

we had a great, HOT week at the lake. the kids didn't come out of the water much. we had 21 kids there this year, 13 and under! the alaska boys came for the first time in over 5 years and Trev loved having them (they are a year older, and a year younger than trev.) the kids slept great because they were so tired.

Al had to leave on wednesday, as usual to work country fest on thursday and work all weekend. but on tuesday when we were all getting in the lake and Al decided to jump off the dock into 2 feet of water to splash me. he put his arms out to brace himself and heard a crunch in his arm and was in immediate pain. he turned white, almost puked, but finally made it up to the cabins where there were nurses. he iced it but was in some pain and couldn't really move his arm much.

the next day his arm felt better and there was no swelling or bruising so he headed home. thursday morning, at home, it was super swollen & had a huge bruise!! he went in to the doctor and couldn't work. eventually, once we were home and he got a second opinion, found out he tore 2 of the 3 tricep tendons and needed surgery.

Trevor won the kids cribbage tournament!!!

the kids and i stayed until saturday but tyler and trevor both weren't feeling great thursday night and friday. we rode home with mom on saturday and then packed up our car there and headed home. once home, matt & jodi picked me up and we went to the gym's annual baseball game. we did have a rain delay and then went to heartbreakers afterwords. it was fun!

Sunday Tova ended up having a fever and trev still didn't feel well and Al had a sore throat for 2 days.

monday we all went in to a new doctor's office through Al's work that everything is free for us, to get tested for strep. Al and Tova had strep, Trev's rapid test was negative but because he was having symptoms and was exposed, we treated all 3. the doctor we saw there, we really liked and he's the 2nd opinion on Al's arm who said he needed to see an orthopedic doctor and gave Al the referal. and good thing because the surgery was time sensitive.

tuesday tova had her first day of gymnastics which she loved and trevor had soccer practice for his summer team.
