They say it comes in 3's....

Well the past week was a tough one...But we made it through! Everyone says that problems come in threes and we have been waiting for the the third problem to come!
First was the passing of Judy's mom on January 7th.
Second was Kevin wrecking the car on January 8th.
We have been, in a way holding our breaths waiting for the shoe to drop. It finally did on Monday January 14th. Brent was at work and about 15 feet up on top of a unit in the oil field, fixing a turbo and his right knee became dislocated. He was stuck and couldn't get down. Finally he did and they sent him home. His knee swelled up immediately, but he wanted me to look at it and make the decision whether to go to Reliance or not. When he got home his knee was twice the size of the other one and bruised already. So he changed into some short (he was worried they might cut his under armour off...Under armour is like long johns, but used by athletes and it is really expensive.) Anyways...So he wanted to change and we struggled with that task! Haha!
We made it to Reliance and he had xrays...then they put him in a brace and on crutches. They are making him an appointment to have an MRI and maybe even to see a specialist! Yikes...So not only do I have to stress about school and my pregnancy and my ultrasound on my gallbladder, but now I have to worry about Brent and his knee!
His knee is still pretty swollen today and he has had it up most of the day as well as putting ice packs on it....But I haven't seen any change! I will let you know what happens with him and hi knee!

WOW is all I gotta say. Glad the "3"s are over now. Keep us posted on Brent's progress as well as the ultrasound coming up for your gallbladder and the baby.
