Boring weekend here. But I did get an interesting phone call from my sister in VA. Jake, Maggie & Matt were outside playing on Thursday, having a good time in the back yard. They have a shed in their backyard, a ball went behind it. Jake went back to get it, and stepped on a board from a neighbor's fence--and also managed to step on a nail that was in the board! The nail went right thru his hiking boot, and into his foot. He pulled his foot up, managed to get into the house (Madeline was upstairs in the bathroom, planning to go join the kids when she heard him say "ouch" & "don't go back there") She came downstairs to find him with his shoe & sock off & bleeding like crazy! Luckily, Steve was working from home so he called the doctor while Madeline cleaned the wound. The doc suggested he go to the ER to get the foot x-rayed to make sure that there weren't any pieces of the nail in there. So Steve took him to the ER, x-rays turned out OK, he's on massive dosages of antibiotics & they have to be super careful when caring for the wound. Thank goodness it's all OK--it could have been so much worse.
