this is life...

In the midst of finishing my first year of my PhD program in the J-School, my 10-year old, Maggie, falls off her scooter and breaks her wrist. Just as I am wondering how I will get my papers and projects done, I lose 2 days of work to the emergency room and waiting on her foot and hand! The UNC emergency room was amazing. Despite the long wait, the nurses, medical student, residents and attending physician (I can't remember their names, but they were wonderful) did a great job fixing her up. Luckily, she remembered to wear her helmet, but scooters are now banned from our home. They are just too dangerous. I hope the next two weeks are quiet.
