A week of Misery!

This week has not been our best! 
We were so excited to know that the framing was done last weekend and we could move on with other things. We are so close to being done with this part of the house. We've really accomplished a lot these past 10 months! When this front portion is done we're going to sit back and enjoy it. We're not going to start on the back half until next Spring!

Sunday night Kory wasn't feeling well and was hoping he could "sleep off" whatever it was that was bothering him. It didn't work! Pretty sure he finally came down with whatever the kids and I had the week of Fall Break. He was super sick Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday he came home for lunch and never went back. Thursday he worked the whole day but came home super tired. Friday he had an install to do in Kanab. It was the first day he felt almost normal. He still needed the toilet quite a bit but he no longer had a fever or the chills. He felt like he was going to live through this.....

When he got home Friday afternoon several parts for my parents quad had come in the mail that he and Hunter had been waiting on. Not wanting to waste daylight they both spent 2-3 hours replacing the broken parts and putting the quad back together. They took it down to my parents house with the intention of making sure the new brake line was fixed, the break fluid wasn't leaking and a few other things were working correctly. Kory and I were going out that night, it was almost dark and so they wouldn't be long!  Kory said after driving it around for a few minutes everything seemed fine and he was ready to back the quad up into the shed and come home. He doesn't know what exactly happend. He knows he put the quad in reverse to back it down the driveway and into the shed. But the next thing he knew he was flying through the air. He found himself lying on his back with the air knocked out of him about 10 feet from the quad. Hunter didn't see the accident happen but was there and was able to help him up. 

We spent our date night at the InstaCare. 
He broke his collar bone in 3 different places and has a few cracked ribs. 

The discouragement we felt that night can not even be described! Kory's already a man down at the shop. He's got several houses that are all going to be ready for their install at the same time.  Our house is always cold, winter's around the corner and we've got so much work to do to get get the house sealed before we can turn on our heater. We both felt miserable.... but also thankful that was the extent to his injuries. It could have been worse!

 Saturday morning, Oct 27th he still wanted to work on the house. He kept his arm in a sling, an ice pack underneath and took a few IB Profen. 


My dad was able to come over and help for a few hours. We finished installing our can lights, ceiling fans and air ducts in the family room. 

Then we pulled the wires!
We've got a few switches and electrical outlets that still need to be done in the Family room. Then we can move in to the master bedroom and bathroom. I don't know how but we will get through this!
