So now we enter 5 long, cold, worthless months of college football, NFL and NBA nonsense until Spring Training starts again. Once again though our family did enjoy some memorable moments cheering our team on.
So here's to our 2008 MVP - Dustin Pedroia:
Britt Update -Britt had surgery yesterday on her wrist to repair the break that she had a couple of weeks ago. Surgery took about 2 hours and she was released to go home a few hours after that. It was a nice change from her past several surgeries. I think we are all thankful that there was no multiple week hospital recovery time to this surgery.
The surgery itself involved having the tumor in her wrist scraped out and then filling that space in with bone cement. After that was done Dr. Scott put small metal plate over Britt's wrist to help stabalize everything. She is recovering pretty well from the surgery. She's experienced a fair amount of pain in her wrist today but that's to be expected. She looks to have 7-10 days of recovery time after which she'll start her third round of chemo. So far chemo seems to be holding the growth of this stable. Hopefully she can continue her treatments with minimal side effects.
Here's to a quick recovery for Britt and the Sox in 2009!

I'm sorry about the Sox, but Brandon was cheering for the Phillies, so it was good for him. :)
Steven you crack me up.
Maybe the Sox will win again next year. They just had to give someone else a chance this year.
Hopefully Britt can recover soon from all the pain of the sox and surgery.
Sorry about the socks. At least the Office is on in the winter. If you guys need any help call me. I miss seeing your kids and Britt.
Steve-This is your 2nd cousin Amanda. Your post cracked me up. . . it reminded me of my brothers. They're MAJOR sports nuts. Ryan used to even say if his wife was in labor during the world series he'd have to seriously consider which even to attend. . . :)
We're praying for Brittany and hope all continues to go well with the chemo. . .
I loved your blog - just saw it for the first time thanks to a reference from Ryan's blog. You are in our prayers all of the time, and we wish the best for your great family.
Love
Tom & Kaye
Well, I'm a Phillies and Eagles fan, being from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, right across the river from Philly. So we were glad that they won! Sorry!
I saw Brittney's mom when I was voting the other day. She said Brittney was doing well after the surgery. Hope the recovery is going easy for you, Britt! Love you!
Brittney we love you, I hope that the recovery is going well!
We're thinking about you Britt! And you to Steven. Seems as if you are in equal agony over the game. Ha!
Drama queen!! Who cries over baseball? Don't you remember what Tom Hanks said in "A League of Their Own"? THere's no crying in (or over) baseball!! :) I'm glad Britt's surgery went well. Give me a call if you ever need me to come help out during the day. I live so close!
So I had no idea that you guys had a blog, now I can stalk it, hee hee. Nice comment about Jake Steven, now he's feeling really bad! Looks like things are good.
Tell Brittney we are praying for her.
