Lindsey needs an MRI on her knee

In case you were curious how Lindsey's doctor appointment went, she had x-rays taken yesterday and the tissue around her knee was torn from the kneecap dislocation, and will likely have surgery. So the doctor will take at look at the results after the MRI to determine the damage and see if the cartilage or ligament or something--I can't remember exactly what--is torn too. More bad news is that she'll probably have surgery on both knees because both kneecaps have had tendencies to be loose. My poor baby! She's using crutches and a knee brace now to get around.

Oh, poor Lindsey!!
That sounded horrible and so painful. And now surgery! That is awful. I hope she can have it soon and that she will heal really fast. Knee troubles are so difficult to completely resolve, it seems.
bless lindsey's heart. i hope she's feeling as good as can be expected. i'm glad you are finding out the problem and hopefully get it solved quickly. my dad has his latest knee surgery here in texas. let me know if you want me to get the name of his dr - my dad loved this guy.

I'm so sorry that you did not receive better news at the Doctor. I hope that they will be able to repair the damage and that she will have a speedy recovery.

I'm proud of you for your brave "mommy" action.

Oh no! Surgery does not sound fun but the end result should be worth it. Hopefully she won't be out of commission for too long or during the summer. :(

Oh dear that is a bummer. I do hope that it goes well. Look at it this way at least she is getting it treated early on before something really yucky happens. Good luck.

That sounds a little tragic! But Lindsay will do great I'm sure. Be sure to give her lots of pampering ;) She'll be so happy to have a new knee once it's all over with!

Make sure you get her some great earplugs for the MRI! They'll give her some there too, but if you could find some extra sound-proof ones to take with her that would help. Those dang MRI machines are noisey! Think jackhammer!

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
