I'm to the point of what next. The elementary school had a lockdown because of a possible sex offender at the school. A friend of my sons, Mom was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. She's been in the hospital the last 10 days. She's divorced, and even though the father and his family live here in town none would help out. My wife and other people ended up collecting all sorts of things (food, clothing, and what not) and Glenda took Danny to Sioux Falls (2/12 hours away) on Friday so he could spend the weekend with his Mom. Someone else brought them back this AM but had to turn around and take the Mom right back to Sioux Falls. We're still not sure what's going to happen with Danny. At least some of the other class mates parents are helping to take care of him at night.
And then to cap it all off. Today is Brady's 11th birthday. A half hour before the party, he fell off the trampoline and broke his arm. It is broke in two places. The hospital here can't set it. The hospital in Mitchell (an hour away) and the hospital in Sioux Falls (2 1/2 hours away) can't do anything for him until tomorrow. They emailed the x-rays and info to the ER doctor in Sioux Falls. (Fortunately, he's a pediatric orthopedic surgeon). He's comfortable with waiting until tormorrow and fixing his arm then. His mom got faint in ER when she saw the angle of his arm and they had to take her out for awhile. Poor kid is just bummed, no party, no presents yet and he hurts. I'll admit I'm just a tad frazzled.
Maybe now that that's off my chest I can focus a little bit better.
Thanks
Dan
