Bad accident

Ouch!

 This afternoon we headed to Kenzie's house.  There was a traffic jam on the way there due to a big camping trailer that had flipped.  We got to Kenzie's house around 12:30.  Rody, Vikki and Dad also came to help.  The guys worked in the kitchen getting the cupboards put in and the microwave.  The had a difficult time with the wiring.  I worked on spackling the bathroom.  Then we went outside to work on a big job with Kenzie.  The boys helped too.  The previous owners threw a ton of rocks under a cute tree in Kenzie's front yard.  They had sunk in the ground.  There were also big chunks on concrete.  And on top of that was a ton of broken tiles.  Some of the rocks were so heavy!  We worked until we had to leave for Jacob's Eddy band concert.  There are still a bunch of rocks under the dirt.  They are hard to dig out because they are on top of other rocks.  We will have to work on this another time.  We put all the tile in our van to throw in our dumpers.  We put the concrete chunks in Dad's truck.  The concert sure was great.  At home we had popcorn pop and ice cream and watched Tim Hawkins.

Adam had an appointment for therapy at 8:15.  A new therapist was covering for his therapist.  She gave him a major neck massage at the end of his appointment.  He said after that his neck felt 10 times better.  We took Jacob and Eli to my parents house and then headed to Henry Ford for Adam's appointment with the concussion neurologist.  He was very good at explaining everything and drew it on a white board while he explained it.  He said Adam had a concussion but that gets better after about 7-9 days.  Now Adam is having these symptoms due to what's called, Traumatic migraine.  He wants Adam to stop taking ibprofen which can prolong his headaches.  He is going to take prednisone for 12 days and also B2 and Magnesium oxide and Benadryl.  He said about 90% of his patient are symptom free after 2 weeks.  We have a follow up appointment in 2 weeks.  We then went to a fish store called Fishy Bizz.  We went to Dennis and Marcia's house.  Marcia gave us a nice tour around her yard.  She has so many awesome rocks.  We also saw her pond with goldfish.  We went inside and had a nice visit.  Adam got a pop.  Macia made a wonderful meal of chicken tenders, baked beans and a salad.  We also had yummy strawberry pretzel jello and choc sheet cake. Yummy!!  We headed home around 8:00.  Mom and Melissa had just got back from getting Jacob from SVSU.  Eli and Jack were just getting out of the pool when we got there.

Melissa and her family came to our church today.  It was nice to have them there.  We went shopping for groceries and picked up pizzas from Good Times for lunch.  After lunch Jared changed the oil on the van.  I finished edging in the small flower bed.  Then I worked on cleaning fish tanks.  Adam mowed the back yard.  We left early for Jacob's concert because Jacob wanted to stop at Best Buy.  We also had to stop and get Jacob's dress shoes from the car.  Vikki and her family came to the concert.  Lucy came too.  We really enjoyed the concert!  We had popcorn pop and ice cream and watched Rio 1.  Jacob finished his metal earth set.
