Look in the upper left corner and you'll see a picture of a much younger Aaron on the dining room wall.
I took his picture when I was visiting Aaron to admire his knee brace and crutches. On Tuesday he was playing indoor football at recess and had a bad fall and knee injury. That boy is crazy about football.
Wednesday's doctor visit revealed no break. The knee was swollen and immobile. Follow up on Friday revealed no tear, a meniscus sprain. Saturday was no better, but yesterday he reported that the pain was less and he could move the knee a little. So, improvement.
I took a small box of Lego's for Aaron and his sister. Usually, he starts out, then asks Nora to finish, so I thought one box would work for both of them. This time he quickly finished on his own, so no Lego's for Nora. Next time, two boxes.
Aaron tells me that there are perks to having crutches at school. He gets to ride the elevator to his second-floor classroom. Another student is assigned to carry his books and help him get his lunch.
Still, I know he will be glad to get back to his active life.

That sounds like a lovely school system. I bet the helper learns a lot by helping someone who can't do those things for themselves. Good to know it's nothing more serious since he will definitely want to play more sports in the years to come.
