Spare Some Thoughts.
So, our friends Steve and Mindy’s son N went in this morning for surgery on his ankles. Basically, his Achilles tendons are too short, so he walks on his toes. They are cutting the tendons partway through and he’ll be in casts to hold his feet at a 90 degree angle to his legs for about 6 weeks while they stretch.
So, if you could spare a good thought for a very sweet seven-year-old and his awesome parents, that would be very cool.
Thanks.
ETA: I heard from Steve this afternoon, but I haven’t been home until now to update. As you can see on his post here, N is home and doing just fine. I’ll keep you updated as I hear from Steve. Or you can freak him out and start reading his blog regularly for the updates.

At least this is something where modern technology is really working in his favor. Dan Marino never fully recovered from rupturing his achilles, and I’ll bet Misty May-Treanor will be back to her former greatness after suffering the same injury.
Happy thoughts headed to Indy!
