Saturday

We spent a good 3 hours at the Hospital on Saturday. I made him a fleece blanket with a fireman theme, he really liked it, his grandmas was so impressed with it, she told me when her birthday was. About 15-20 minutes after we got there the Johnson's got there. We knew they were on thier way up. Matthew Bradley and Ryan S. wandered around the hallways of the hospital for awhile to check the place out. Ryan B, Nathan and Sarah went to the Play area for awhile, or they sat in Ryan S.'s room and played Mario on game cube. Ryan S was reading jokes to me out of a joke book before the Johnson's got there, so that was great!! We all sat around and talked and joked around and discussed the accident. I think it did everyone good to just be together for awhile, it's what we all normally do on a Saturday, although, usually at someones house and usually at night ;-) After we left the hospital we went to McDonalds with the Johnsons, they are still pretty down but hopefully doing a little better than before, Denise says it bothers Dave to see Ryan, knowing he could lose his eye. ( Pray that it recovers!!) Then last night the Johnson's came over and played cards with us and we laughed and had a good time, and then Ray and Nathan Schmuck stopped by on thier way home for a little bit and he thought the game looked like fun and it is perfect for 6 players, so we can't wait until Ryan is home and doing better so we can all get together and play.
Ryan has his reconstuctive surgery tomorrow, he's pretty nervous about it.
The Johnsons gave them a gas card to help with those expenses, the Hotel in town ( Dave's mom) gave them a $100 gift certificate to help with food costs ( they have great pizza) the Fire Dept is giving them $500 this next week and I am still working on some sort of benefit to help raise money to help them out too. Ryan will be in the hospital until at LEAST next weekend.
