Good News/Bad News

OK so the bad news first, we did not even see this coming! Jay went in to the Orthopedic surgeon and he does have a fracture in his ankle, but the worse news is that he also broke his fibula bone. His leg has been sore as well as his ankle but we thought it was just from the bruising and favoring his ankle. The fibula which is the small bone in the shin is broken straight through. Also the tendons are torn and separated from the bone. SSOO he is going to have surgery next Thursday the 30th to put a pin in his leg, to hold the tendon next to his bone until the tendon heals (about 2 months). He is to put no pressure on it for that entire time, crutches and down time. Then in two months he will have another surgery to take the pin out. Please pray for him, the doctor said this is very painful recovery.

OK so now the good news. Valor's leg is probably just a strain on the Achilles. They are going to do an MRI next Friday, the 1st, just to make sure it is not worse. He should be moving around better soon if the MRI doesn't show anything else.

Thank you all for your prayers we know God is faithful and will take care of us. Many prayer requests here, God know them all. Jay will not be able to drive for many months and needs to stay down as much as possible so he is pretty bummed. Someday I hope we will be able to look back and laugh and see the things that we know God will show us through this.

And one more thing!!

OK so in the last post I went through a lot of the stuff that was going on this month and as of tonight I have to add one more thing!  I spent 2 hours in Prompt Care with Valor tonight.  He possibly tore his Achilles tendon during his baseball game.  It is wrapped in a boot like cast and we need to go to a orthopedic surgeon to get an MRI done to see how bad he hurt it.  SO now I have two on crutches around the house.  So if you could please pray for him and Jay (and Mom too)  Thanks.  Well this takes away a few baseball games a week now because he will probably be out for the season depending on how bad the tear is.  :-(

Busy Times!!

This month has been a lot busier then usual for us. On top of baseball, which is about 8 games plus practices a week, we have had a lot of other things going on this month. Kite day, Acquire the Fire, Air soft wars, going to two services at church, a big injury, new braces, a new family member. And the month is not even over yet!! Here are a few pics of our adventures!

Please pray for Jay, he was the one with the big injury. While playing air soft with the boys he stepped on a rock and rolled his ankle and while trying to catch himself he rolled it the other way also. This happened two weeks ago and he can still not put any pressure on it and it is very swollen and bruised up to his knee. There is a possible fracture, he goes back in on Wed. to find out. He is still in a lot of pain and very uncomfortable. It is his right ankle so he cannot drive so I'm sure you can imagine what that does to our schedule!!! Remember the 8 games plus practices mentioned above! But God is faithful and it has all worked out so far.

Chico has a kite day once a year and people come out and pack the park to fly kites, have a picnic, listen to music and have fun hanging out with friends. This year was very windy, almost too windy to fly kites.


Valor won tickets a few weeks ago to the Newsboys concert on Air 1, well this time Ethan won tickets to Acquire the Fire. It is a two day youth conference in Sacramento at Arco Arena. TFK, Building 429, Group 1 Crew, Phil Joel did worship and the had different sessions on teen issues. Jay took the boys and they all had a great time.

The Kovacs' had an air soft war, BBQ, and bon fire on their property. There were about 20 people there.

Ethan now has joined his brother in getting braces! He also needs to get a few teeth pulled to make more room. No fun.

Easter Sunday!! After church we went to Mom and Dads for lunch and an egg hunt.

The newest member of our family, Kylo. He is a German Shepherd/ Collie mix. We got him from the Butte Humane Society. He is 5 years old and very well behaved. Gabby needed a friend while we are gone so much. They get along great.
