What a crazy week!

We knew this week would be crazy. With our great streak of luck over the past year, the week ended up even crazier than we expected. 

Monday: Today was a full morning of appointments followed by surgical braces. We met Dr. Hobbs for the first time today to go over the therapy he will provide for Rebecca post surgery. Dr. Jackson put the braces on. (And she looks just as amazing with braces on, in case anyone was curious.)

Monday was a tough day, with the reality of surgery on Thursday. Rebecca's mom volunteered to watch the kids for a few hours while we went to the beach. We had a great, relaxing time. 

Tuesday: The first appointment today was at 1pm. She learned how to put bands on the brackets, and Dr. Piper  went over her health history in addition to making sure her splint fit correctly. 

After seeing Dr. Piper, we dropped her prescriptions off at the Prescription Shop in St. Petersburg and headed to the Palms of Pasadena hospital for blood work. 

Wednesday: Today was supposed to be a fun and free final day of the current normal for us. We decided that we would spend the day at the Tampa Aquarium. However, we were about 10 minutes from the aquarium when we were rear ended on the Gandy bridge. We were only going 10-15mph when we were rear ended by some probably going 40mph. We are all sore, and we have quite a bit of damage to our car. But a collision center was able to get the car fixed temporarily so we can make it back home. 

During the car accident, one of Bec's brackets came loose. After our car was fixed, we had to go see Dr. Jackson to get the bracket glued back. We finally made it back to our condo to enjoy a light meal. I'm sure no one will be surprised, but here is a pic of the last real food Bec will enjoy for 3 months (cheesecake with tons of caramel and whipped cream):

Thursday: Today is surgery day! We are hopeful for a complete recovery. Bec was excited today and very relaxed. I can't wait to see her after surgery...
