Braxton's Knee




Today Tevita, Mehi, and I were heading to Richfield. We got half way there and got a call from Koosharem Elementary saying that Braxton had been in an accident and needed to go to the hospital. We turned around and went to get him. When we got there Mr. T said that he will need stitches and that he was getting ready to take him himself. So, we headed to Richfield to the ER. When we got there (1:00pm) they told us, "We aren't going to check him in until about 3:00pm so you might want to go somewhere else." I said, "Why" and they said, "We have somebody in the trauma room and an ambulance coming in so we won't even check him in for a couple of hours." Tevita and I were so frustrated. There were three nurses just standing around talking and they would not check us in. What is an ER for?? So, I had Tevita stop at the clinic to see if we could get Dr. Brown to fix him. They told us to come back at 2:00pm (after their lunch) and he could fix him. So, we went back and Dr. Brown fixed him right up! Dr. Brown asked Brax, "Braxton, when you become a NFL player will you send me some tickets?" Braxton said, "Yep, I'm gonna send all the old people some tickets!" Good thing Dr. Brown had already given him the shot!!! So, we had an eventful day and he has to be on an antibiotic and tylenol. He is hurting now and I hate to see him in pain. By the way, the cut was 3 inches long and has 16 stitches in it.

Holy cow! Like Crystal said, how did he do that? I'm so sorry he's hurting. I sure hope he heals fast! I hope he remembers all his mom's friends on his old people list for football tickets. ;o)

The bike accident was nothing compared to this! I happened to be at the school when Mr. T. came in with Braxton. The kids all explained what it looked like, it looks like they were pretty accurate, they called it a pocket!

Tevita and I met 13 years ago in Provo Utah. What a cutie he was! In June we will have been married for 12 years. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long but yep, here we are coming up on 12. We have 5 beautiful children that keep us pretty busy. We also have 3 angel baby boys that we know we will be with after this life. We have so many different personalities in this house but there is one thing for sure...we love each other and are grateful for this family! What a great life!
