Bummer News!
So we found out this week that Mike has torn his Achilles tendon in his calf. He did it while playing basketball (of course). He came home and said it felt like someone had just kicked him really hard in his calf. The next day it was totally swollen and turning purple. He couldn't get into the foot doctor until about a week later and that's when he found out how bad it really was. He is scheduled for surgery on Monday. The doctor wanted to do it yesterday, but Mitchel is being baptised on Saturday and Mike couldn't be down for that. So he'll get the surgery on Monday, then be down for a few days. Then after that he has to wear a big boot and use crutches for up to 8 weeks! Crap!! Then it will take some physical therapy and lots of time (at least 6 months) before he can run and jump again. There goes all our summer camping plans! Oh well, it could be a lot worse. We are also having a busy weekend with Mitchel's birthday (today!) and his baptism and all that. So lots happening right now at the Harker house. CRAZY!!!

that is a bummer... let me know if you need anything
Oh man. The bummer news title followed by an exclamation point through me off a bit! No one wants to be down for the summer.
How exciting that Mitchel's being baptized on Saturday though, have a great weekend!
WHOA...that is bummer news. Who's doing the surgery? Hope he recovers quickly!
Man, that kind of stuff always happens in the Summer.... sorry. Stinks for you guys! But that's neat that Mitchel is getting baptized, how neat! I can't believe he's 8!!
Sorry to hear that! Let us know if we can help!
That stinks! I have achilles tendonitis and that's enough of a pain. I can't imagine tearing it. OUCH! I hope you have a great weekend celebrating Mitchel's birthday and baptism despite this news. Good luck with everything.
