Roller Coaster September

This has been a roller coaster month for the Checketts family.  After Asael was in a boot due to a small fracture in his foot, the doctors told him that the fracture had become worse.  So they scheduled surgery so they could go in and put a screw in Asael's foot to screw both bones together.  
The surgery went extremely well.  Asael woke up still remembering who I was, which was a good sign!:)  We are grateful for Asael's cousins to be able to "watch" Asael the day of the surgery, because I had to go to work to prepare for a Match that evening.  I ended up picking him up close to 10pm.  Thank you Jordan and Crystal!!!
The last couple of weeks, Asael has used crutches and a scooter to get around campus to go to his classes.  He has read a lot due to not being able to do much of anything else.:)



He hasn't complained once and is so appreciative of everything anyone does for him!
This week Asael has been given permission to start swimming, so he has been very excited about that!
Three more weeks of no weight bearing!  Almost there!
As for my job, it is going very well right now.  I love coaching these girls so much, and am so grateful to have this opportunity!  This past week we beat our rivals, UTAH, in 5 sets.  It was a very exciting game!  We played it in the huntsman, so it was a very different environment, but still a great crowd!
