We're having a quiet Sunday watching no stakes football where quarterbacks run and move around the field. It's been a revelation for me, having mainly watched Tom Brady for the past many years. I was unable to speak with a human at the parent company of Zack's insurance company on Friday so there is no …

Snow Day for Zack’s follow up appointment
Zack's follow up with his orthoped (is that a word?) this morning was initially scheduled for 11 am then moved up to 8:30 for an impending snowstorm. This impending storm even canceled school last night. It is so unusual and so exciting for a school day to be called the night before! Usually, I am …
All going fine 😊
A couple pictures from this week. Monday: Good 📰! Zack's wanting to move and stretch a bit. He has a followup with the ortho surgeon tomorrow. Molly's expanding her territory each day.
Back to kindergarten
Sunday was definitely Zack's best day yet. His new pain medication doesn't seem to make him as drowsy and he can go for a bit longer between each dose. While I was at a Girls on the Run training in the morning, Zack took off his initial bandages and gave his newly shaved knee area …
Blokus
Today started out particularly slowly as Zack and Molly chose different times to wake up (both very early) then to nap then wake up then back to sleep and so on. I told Molly that I'm going back to school on Monday so she'd have to sync up her peeing with my availability but I …
Sequence
The other day Zack suggested we buy and start playing Monopoly during his recovery, to which I felt a little bleh. But I did enjoy researching board games on the internet for 5 1/2 minutes and found 3 winners. Sequence, Blokus and Exploding Kittens. On my outing last night to get Zack's pain killers, which …
Home 😊
We're home! Knee brace on. Icing. Sleeping. Molly is unimpressed with our return.
You’re a valvey guy
1:30 pm update He's out of surgery. I spoke with the surgeon and they replaced his acl and stitched up the 2 meniscus tears. We have a follow up appt next week. Zack was taken back for surgery about 10 minutes ago (~ 11:50) and was relaxed and in good spirits. 😊 We got here …
‘Twas the night before surgery
We just ate a lot of delicious sushi with our good friend, Shane and now Zack's icing one last time for the night. Earlier today he was trading silly gifs with Jen, his older sister. (I recently discovered where they are on my phone. I'm not quite up to sending them yet!) I think frocking …
signs of a stroke
Last night, we went to Squaw for a winter speaker series. Kit Deslauriers is the first person to ski down the 7 summits (highest mountain on each of the 7 continents) and is all around very adventurous and extra cool. Our friend PK, with whom Zack was skiing when he fell, was doing the sound …
