New Hips

Life has been crazy at our house lately with all the kiddos and school and everything. There is a piece though that I guess should be mentioned. Eric needs hip replacement for hip dysplasia and it needs to happen this year. The last year has been rough with Eric being in increasing amounts of pain from normal daily life activities. We went bowling a few weeks ago and he fell several times. I add this to the blog just to put it all in perspective. The kids know that he is hurting and unable to do things. They understand that after he gets them replaced and recovers he will be back to super fun daddy again. Right now he struggles to be super fun daddy because of the pain. This weekend Lucy was telling a friend about it and she said, "My dad is going to get his hips cut off this summer. I am going to need a place to stay." It was so sweet and sad all at the same time. Looking forward to this part of life to be fixed and through!
