Winning Who is Worse Off
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008We went to Dr. Chambers today. He was sick on Friday so we postponed until today. Sam’s other ankle is broken and they put a cast on it today. He picked blue just like his hearing aids -he has one blue and one red cast.  He was hoping he might get his red cast off […]
