BAD NEWS

Jake's back has been hurting him for awhile. He started lifting weights at Mesa High for football next year and after a couple of days he could hardly walk. Rob took him to the doctor yesterday. Took x-rays. He has a hair line fracture on the L5, I think. The one right before the little bones for your tail bone. We have to take him to a spine specialist. The bone is also not lined up with the rest of his back. So, no activity right night. Sad, because he made JV Volleyball at Mesa High and would of been starting when the games start next week. Looking back we think he did it a year and a half ago in football when he got a helmet to his back. It probably healed and then in basketball in December when Taylor played Poston, Jake was on the ground trying to get the ball from a Poston player when another Poston player jumped on Jake and the kid landed on Jake with his knee right where his fracture is. He couldn't get up for a while and it did make him cry but he kept on going. Later, in January he had a game against Rhodes and he was going up for a lay-up and got thrown against the wall. He got up but very slowly. Keep him in your prayers and hopefully this isn't a big deal. I really am tired of doctors and their bills. On the happy side, Karissa and Barry's wedding day is JUNE 10th!!!!
