Week 28 and Phil's Achilles

Another week and feeling big, alright! This week has brought lots of activity from the baby. A week ago I didn't think she could be any more active, but she continues to kick, stretch, hiccup, and roll around all day long. We just can't wait to meet her!

 

 

Another big event happened this past week. While playing soccer last Tuesday, Phil ruptured his Achilles tendon and had to go to the ER to get checked out. A couple of hours later it was confirmed, he did quite a bit of damage and needs surgery. He has been hobbling around on crutches this past week and now we have a knee wheeler for him to get around much easier. We are quite the sight to see, a 6-month pregnant and waddling wife helping her husband on crutches get around. 

 

Here is the family with Phil and his boot that he has been wearing since the injury. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. It should be a quick 1-hour surgery in the medical office of the surgeon and he will be able to go home not long after the procedure is over. We are making preparations today to get the house set up for him to come home, and are planning on being home for a couple days while he recovers. The total recovery is going to be about 4 months, but hopefully by the time the baby comes in 3 months, he will have some use of his right leg.

 

Although, we definitely didn't plan for this to happen, we are doing our best to get through it and we appreciate all the well wishes and support. Once we figure out what we will need for Phil's recovery, we will take people up on their offers to help, and look forward to having visitors to the house once we know what Phil's condition will be after surgery.

 

Oh yeah, and a Happy Birthday to me today :). We have postponed any kind of celebration until after we are done with the surgery and possibly done with tax season. It will be a crunch this year getting all our responsibilities in place by the time April 15th comes around!

 

Thank you for everyone that keeps up on the blog and thank you again for all your well wishes. We appreciate all of you!
