You may remember Marie broke her toe on June 8th in Oregon. 
And you may remember we had it diagnosed on July 30th.
You may remember that she has been out of her freshman modified soccer season.
Well, today was follow-up day with the orthopedic PA.  At first glance at the first XRay it looked completely healed, BUT another view showed there was still a part of the fracture that had yet to heal.  On one hand I was overjoyed to hear that FINALLY some healing had taken place.  BUT it was devastating to my darling Marie.  She was composed as we finished up the visit, but her very real disappointment manifested itself in the car and made for some of the most gut-wrenching driving I’ve endured in a few years. 
Good conversation.  Reminders of God’s goodness.  Remembering that she and I still had our evening date to look forward to.
I treated her to Red Lobster’s Endless Shrimp.
 

A lobster pizza appetizer.

We most certainly did NOT eat our veggies!

 




The coconut shrimp were her favorite.  The time together was lovely.  The other kids were wholly supportive of our outing.
