Good Morning Everyone,<br /><br />MaryLou - wonderful that Ashleigh is doing well in her new school.  The Gala sounds wonderful, you must be so proud of Deb and I am sure everyone will look fabulous&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Steve - hopefully things will turn around in the economy and you won&#39;t have to postpone your retirement, nothing the gov&#39;t has done so far seems to have worked&#33;...I knew we too are hurting in our investments. Jerry does have 20 years until retirement but it will take a long time to make back what we have lost. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbdown.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbdown:" border="0" alt="thumbdown.gif" /> <br /><br />Falina - Great picture&#33; I am so glad you got to meet Jennifer and Hugh&#33; I know ya&#39;ll had a great time.<br /><br />Joey and Falina - Good Morning- Momma&#39;s eye appt. was a success as far as she seems to be maintaining the vision she has in her right eye and didn&#39;t need a shot in it...she does seem to be having more of the vision distortions in her eye but she still can read the same off the chart - or at least is guessing as well as she did last time.<br />Thanks for asking...anytime she doesn&#39;t have to get a shot is a good visit.  She goes back in 6 weeks or sooner if her vision get worse.  But she wouldn&#39;t tell me if it does, of course.<br /><br />There is one bit of bad news.  but a little bit a background first...Rachael <b>loves</b> to swing.  We had a jungle gym type of swing combo thing and it was getting old and Rachael was really getting too big for it so Jerry took it down and built/installed a really big swing.  Almost as big as one you would see on a playground, maybe 14 feet or so.  The legs are in concrete, perfectly safe...<br />She always comes in from school and goes outside to swing, really high.  Yesterday I am in the kitchen cutting up an apple for Rose when Rose hears a scream.  Fortunately I had the storm door raised or she wouldn&#39;t had heard her.  <b>One chain had broken&#33;</b>  We run outside and Rachael is lying on her side on the ground with the chain wrapped around her  crying.  I manage to get her calmed down, access the situation, decide nothing is obviously broken and after a bit get her to sit up.<br />Since it is 3:30 jerry is getting off work so I have Rose call him and tell him what has happened and to get on home.<br />Jerry gets home and we take her to the Dr. We get right in and get her X-Rayed and see the Dr.  The Dr. says she has a moderate to severe sprain or strain, which ever is worse I gets those confused, to her foot and leg.  She has to stay off it for 3 days. Not to go to school today and if it is not a lot better by Monday he might want to put it in a cast.<br />But it could had been <b>SO</b> much worse&#33; Jerry said he never had a worry about those chains...but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.<br /><br />HI to everybody and have a good day...i have to call school now and let them now what is going on and sometime this weekend  I am going to have to start on a Play-do model of a Carbon Dioxide molecule  LOL...it is due on Monday&#33;  2nd period Science class.  I wonder what colors  I should use...<img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
