The wreck

Well funny how things go because our lives up until two weeks ago was pretty uneventful, easy going, etc. (except I was still stressed about not selling our house). Well the last two weeks here in Ohio have been some of the busiest, craziest weeks of our whole stay (at least for me- Spencer might disagree) It started with two weekends ago, Spencer had signed up for another bike race, my sister was going to come into town, we had plans to meet our friends for a memorial day picnic at one of our favorite hang out places when Sofie spiked a fever and became really sick. Spencer still bound and determined to do the race left with out his cheerleaders. It was about time for the race to get over when I got a call from Spencer saying he was almost home and didn't finish the race- he continued on telling me how he got in a wreck during the race. Another rider clipped his front wheel going 30 miles an hour. Spencers bike is in ruins, he whacked his head so hard his helmet cracked all the way through, he got a concusion and some really bad road rash down the left side of his body. To add to it he had just bought a new special bike seat the day before the race an now it is all torn up. I was just so glad he when he made it home considering that the race was an hour away and when he came in the house he was shaking so bad he couldn't hardley open a bottle of I-bprofen. Shortly after he started throwing up and it took him about a week to be able to sleep through the night because of the road rash. The next day we ended up having to take Sofie to the Urgent care because she hadn't slept or eaten all day was soo fussy and Spencer saw white patches on her throat. Sure enough she had Strept throat. So Monday was a day of me trying to nurse the sick back to health. By Wed. though we were all feeling better and ready to get out an about so we went camping with some of our great friends one last time in Ohio. In order to not bore everyone to death I am breaking our adventures up into two posts. I don't have any pictures of Spencer's wounds or his bike but I am sure you can imagine.
