Mending slowly

I talked with my brother last night, and he reports that many of the prayer candles in the famous grotto at the University of Notre Dame have Jane's name on them.

That's a nice thought, and it moved me almost as much as Jesus saying "Little girl, get up" in yesterday's gospel reading.

Jane saw three doctors in a followup visit this morning.

No word on her head yet, and her broken wrist remains a dicey proposition, but she has youth and resilience on her side. She's pleased that she got to swap the puce-colored Ace bandage-on-a-splint she had been wearing for a traditional plaster cast wrapped in a bandage of bright Kelly green.

In other family news, we made good on the game of Risk that I'd started setting up last nght, and I talked Thomas into a haircut by convincing him that he'd swim faster in a meet tomorrow with shorter hair.

Isn't resilient youth wonderful? Despite her accident, Jane seems to be enjoying life, and it's clear from what you write that she is healing even better than could be expected.

Your blog is a point of light for me right now, because world news depresses me. I visit you and am reminded of miracles.

Elizabeth loves Risk, will love playing with Jane and Thomas when we visit -- I can't wait!
