Bocci

T started playing

Bocci with the Special Olympics. She is now officially a member of the Golden Spikers and the team competes in various sports throughout the year. (Bocci is a type of lawn bowling that reminds me of Curling) I think there are about 70 people on the team. Not everybody participates in every sport, it is their choice. At the two practices T has been at, there has been about 25 people there. She seems to enjoy it but was real disappointed that there are no pins to knock down. Good Luck Golden Spikers! They have tournament in Aug. with all of Northern Utah teams and if they take gold, they will compete at the U of U in Oct. with teams from all over Utah. It should be a great experience for her. I am excited for her to make some new friends.

and down he goes...

I can't get my Internet working on my computer so I am using my husband's laptop which does not have a slot for my SD card....so possibly more photos later. This photo was taken on J's phone last night as he took K to the Dr. office and the the ER (while I was in Cedar Hills visiting a friend). K wasn't thinking and instead acting more in desperation as he was climbing onto a roof (without a ladder) and took a fall onto several boulders below. He is not real clear on the details since it knocked him unconscious. He did say that that was an awkward feeling coming too and not being quite sure what happened and looking around at his surroundings trying to piece everything together. As he drove home it got harder and harder to breathe so as soon as he got home he grabbed J and had him drive him to the Dr. office insta-care. He said they were sure making a fuss over him and gave him the option of an ambulance of J driving him to the hospital. J drove him and although the waiting room was full they looked at him and took him right back. I arrived at the hospital while he was getting a CT scan. Despite the blood on the back of his his head and his massive headache, the CT scan of his head and neck looked good. The most pain he has is from his chest wall contusion. He broke one vertebrae in his back and although that will keep him inactive for awhile, he does not need surgery and there is no nerve or spinal cord damage. We feel he was really blessed and his guardian angels must have help soften his fall. He his happy do deal with all the pain knowing how much worse it could have been.
