Well, the excitement doesn’t end for the Lott family. Yesterday Alex was making a tackle at
football camp and got a head or shoulder to the stomach. (He did get the guy down before it happened
and he’s proud of that.) We had him checked out at McKay Dee Hospital
ER just to be safe. He had a Cat Scan to
rule out possible spleen damage. We are
very grateful no major damage was done.
His intestines are bruised and his liver and spleen are a little
swollen. He is very sore and we joke
with him that he walks slower than an 80-year old man. His pain level is much less today and we are
very pleased with that. Guess he has an
excuse to be a couch potato this week.
Don't let the smile fool you, he's pretty drugged up...
On a happy note, this week Ethan learned to ride his bike
without training wheels. He and Ryan
were both three when they learned. It
really brings back memories of when Ryan learned. It is just another one of many similarities
between Ethan and Ryan. He really is
super fast now and has too many scrapes and scratches on his legs and knees to
count. This hasn’t stopped him
though. Guess I’d better pull mine out
so we can race.
Also, Ryan used to always tease me whenever I would buy a
new purse. Believe it or not this really
didn’t happen as often as he thought.
Well, I saw a cheap, cute one at Wal-mart and had to get it in his honor. It’s orange so I couldn’t resist. Ha! Ha! Ry.
This one’s for you!!!
I noticed something interesting as I look back at the
pictures we took on June 12th with us all wearing orange. In both shots there is a space left for where
Ryan would be standing. We didn’t do
this intentionally. I’d like to think
that he is in those pictures wearing a Longhorns shirt and we just can’t see
him. We love you Ry. You are never out of our thoughts.
