A Chip off the Old Foot


We're bummed. We just got back from the doctor's office where we found out Jordan chipped (fractured) a bone in his foot at football practice last night. He's in a 'boot' and will have crutches as well for a couple of days. The boot stays on for 4-6 weeks, which means football season is over for him. He's happy he'll be able to use the elevator at school (his class is on the 3d floor) but is also realizing it's going to be a bummer trying to get around.

It would be one thing if he hadn't enjoyed football, but he was really liking it (especially the games - the practices not so much). At least he had one game. He played tight end and got to run the plays in to the huddle so he played every other offensive play.

We'll still be in Forest Lake every Saturday for the next month and a half watching Jonah play and cheering on Jordan's 6th grade team, but Jordan's season is done.
