On the mend...

Russ is doing good and continuing to heal. On Sunday his entire body was sore/aching. Today his neck and back are feeling better but his knee is feeling worse. He's walking better now but his legs definitely got the brunt of the wreck. We'll have to wait a couple more days to see if he needs to go in for an MRI on his knee. Here's a picture and,as always, the picture does not do justice to how his legs really look.
Neal A Maxwell said: "Trials and tribulation tend to squeeze the artificiality out of us, leaving the essence of what we really are and clarifying what we really yearn for."
Through the trials Russ and I have gone through, I've been so blessed to see more and more the incredible man that Russ is. He continues to worry about and care about others and not himself. He doesn't complain and is always so optimistic. Everyone told me that when the ambulance arrived at the hospital and Russ was wheeled out on a stretcher, he was smiling and waving like a celebrity. He didn't want the parents there to be worried and tried to ease their concern. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be married to such an incredible man.

We are also very grateful for our bishop and members of our ward. Our bishop stayed at the hospital and waited until everyone was released. The other ward members at the hospital were so concerned for all the individuals involved. We were touched by their selflessness and love.
