About a week ago Laren sprained his ankle (really bad). It's been hard getting around and just doing little daily activities. Here is the story of how it all happened:
Laren was playing in a competitive baseball game and stepped on the base wrong. His ankle rolled over on itself. He fell to the ground and thought he might be able to get up and "run it off." He ran out to right field (he was on first) and promptly fell to the ground again. Not even 5 minutes later He was escorted to the car and we were off to the hospital. We rushed into the ER and they were scared that he had shattered his ankle. (It seriously look like he has a full grapefruit under the side of his right ankle) They immediately took X-rays to see if he needed surgery. With a cast, crutches and some vicoden we were sent home to rest and ice his ankle.
Now that it is a week later, things are getting a little better. He is able to horrible around a little and is able to deal with the pain now to get through classes. We are so blessed that 1. his ankle wasn't broken, 2. that Laren didn't need surgery, and 3. for modern day medicine.
If you would like to see what his ankle looked like google a "Grade 3 Sprained Ankle." I would post pictures but they are a little disturbing.
