Seven Things Chandi is Not Too Fond of Right Now:
1. Church softball
2. Sliding into 2nd base (not that base, tacky)
3. Wrists that are all gooey and misplaced
4. Spending two hours at InstaCare
5. Shots that are bigger than our outdoor hose (unless they are epidurals)
6. The word/action "manipulation"
7. Husbands in casts for 6-8 weeks
Bryan broke his wrist. He is never allowed to play church softball again.
Thursday night, Bryan slid into 2nd base and immediately felt and heard (gag) his wrist break. Me, Mandy, and Andlie pulled up right after it happened and as we were walking over to the field, Bryan came walking towards us and said, "Chandi! I broke my wrist." So, we all got back in the car and headed to InstaCare where Bryan got x-rays, a wrap, and a sling and then sent home for the night.
The next day, we went to the Orthopaedic Surgeon where Bryan got a humongous numbing shot and then his wrist got "manipulated" back into place, which he also heard (gag again). The doctor put him in a cast and told him to come back next week to make sure the bones were healing correctly.
The bad news is that Bryan starts his Master's program on Monday. So, if any of you professors are reading this, please, do your part and give Bryan an "A" right now. The good news is that he doesn't have to have surgery at this point, that he can still function pretty well, and especially that he can still hold his baby girl. (Note: She has enough hair to wear teeny, darling clips now.)
We are so grateful for our wonderful families and friends! What other sister would just take Andlie on a walk so she wouldn't get germs while we were at InstaCare for two hours? What other parents would drive all the way from Panaca to check on their boy at 9:30 PM? What other Daddys (both) would happily give their son beautiful Priesthood blessings? What other friends (many) would call and text to check on Bryan? What other bosses would tell Bryan not to worry about coming in to work on Friday? What other bosses would tell me not to worry about coming in to the office on Friday? What other aunts would bring lunch? What other aunts would make some calls to make sure we saw the doctor early on Friday? We are truly grateful for all of the wonderful people we are surrounded by!
Now, who thinks Andlie looks exactly like me in this pic?

SHEESH! Right arm and all!! Yeah, maybe he should get an A+ in all classes. Pity grades are A-okay by me. I can't believe he had to go home for the night with a broken wrist and no drugs. I'll bet that was a cozy night's sleep. Still, he'll have a conversation piece in every class. Maybe they'll start class with the "What did YOU do over summer?" question and he'll have the best story. At least it happened at the END of summer and not the beginning because then he couldn't have gone on jetskis and gotten his cast all wet. We're so sorry it happened though! Get feeling better, Bryan!
So basically Bryan was Derrek Jeter out there playing church softball??? Wow! I'm sure glad he doesn't have to have surgery. Get well soon Bry!!
The black cast makes B's arm look like an elephant trunk. I like it! As far as never playing softball again? We shall see. :)
Heal quickly and well so you can play church basketball!
That is a total bummer! Sorry about all that and hope it heals quick. GOod luck! I love Andlie's tie-die shirt!
Shannon said to tell Bryan that he's a dusche bag for sliding in church softball!!! Tell him to chill out next time!!!
Church ball of any kind is bad news! Sorry about the wrist, especially with school starting. Urghhh..... At least the cast should help with Andlie if she is teething, right?
Ouch and gag! That stinks. Hope that it is healing correctly when you go back to the doctor. Good luck.
That is ridiculous! Bryan seriously needs to be more careful! Maybe you should come into the office more- I want to see you more than just at Wal-Mart!
That same day my mom Pete Rosed into 1st base..that's right..first base..during church softball. I'm pretty sure she will join you in boycotting church softball! BTW your baby girl is adorable!!
