Toe Update

For those of you wondering...We have learned a little more about Ben's toe situation in the last couple of days. The specialist that we will be visiting next Tuesday got to see Ben's MRI and x-rays yesterday and he actually thought that it may not be as bad as we originally thought. On Tuesday we will be going to Charlotte to get a fluoroscopy. This is basically a moving x-ray that Ben will either have to be sedated for or numbed so the doctor can move his toe around and take the pictures at the same time. Based on what he sees from that will determine if Ben will need surgery or not. If he does need surgery it will be done that same day or Wednesday. Please pray that the decision for surgery or not will be clear cut. We want to make sure we get this fixed the right way the first time and not just for football, but for quality of life in general. We aren't getting any younger you know! I guess that's it for now. We'll be sure to keep everyone up to date as we learn more. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Congrats on girl #2 (welcome to our world). Mandy told me how excited you all were and I know Whitney will love being a big sister as much as Q has. Sorry to hear about Ben, we will keep you all in our prayers as you see the doctor. Please let us know if we can help in anyway; Q is always talking about Whitney so we would be happy to let her come and play if you need a break. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.
