Knees...

It all comes down to the knees, Chandler's knees that is....

A few weeks ago the drill sargents thought Chandler had torn his ACL, after bone scans, x-rays, etc, we found out that luckily his ACL is not torn, BUT he does have stress fractures in both legs. blah. So he was put on light duty, which basically meant that he did everything normal except when the rest of the guys went running Chandler went to Physical Therapy. On Saturday I talked to Chandler and found out that his stress fractures are not doing well AND his meniscus is torn up. SO, he will continue with the physical therapy until around the 24th of this month and then they will decide what to do with him. Maybe keep him there till he is better, or send him home with a medical discharge. Who knows where life will take us from there, so until the 24th I'll try to keep up a good attitude, and think positive.

On a happier note, Aubri is getting big, Fast!! It feels like overnight she grew several inches! It was weird! Her new things include; climbing on EVERYTHING, she really has climbing down! She likes to yell, not scream, really yell, she covers her eyes until you say "where's Aubri" and then she wants to cover your eyes, she points to your eye and says "eye" then points to your nose, ear, mouth, cheek, and says "eye" for each one. lol, she is getting a molar on the right side so now her tooth count is up to seven, 5 on top and 2 on bottom, she picks up my cell phone and says " hiiiii, daaaaadddd", she laughs at herself when she thinks nobody is looking, she laughs at herself when she knows people are looking, she goes to bed without me having to rock her to sleep first (I still do sometimes) She she only has a bottle in the morning when I am too tired to get out of bed, AND my favorite thing of all she gives the biggest hugs! Oh it's heart melting! both arms wrapped around my neck with an extra-hard, extra-long squeez! it's the BEST.
