We weren’t expecting a freak ice storm to roll in after we had been having somewhat warmer weather…. but it definitely hit downtown hard. After driving away from work we noticed how it seemed to hit the church harder than anywhere else.
Just as it was coming in, Nate was walking across the street to the office from the youth room and slipped. It was a tiny little slip that would deeply effect the next twelve weeks of our lives. He heard all kinds of pops and wobbled his way inside to call me for help.
We were thinking he just sprained it, but went to the doctor just in case.
It was somewhat comical at the doctor’s office. Nate was in good spirits and we were both in a little shock. Then when we got home… reality set in. And, I learned how much Nate helps me every day around the house and with the kids.
It was an extremely rough few days before we got a knee scooter. He was able to get around a lot better without the crutches. He ever screwed my bike basket to the front…. and we used the hound out of it!
