The bit of bad luck came on Thursday night. I dread seeing Trenton's cell phone number on my caller ID past ten o'clock at night...it can only mean a couple of things...he is in trouble or he is hurt. It ended up being the latter (and I am proud to say he hasn't been in trouble at all yet!!! Hopefully will stay that way). He had called to say he got a wheel of his longboard stuck in a crack and it threw him off, landing on his arm. He believed it was broke and asked if he should go to the Emergency Room. I told him to wait if he could, to see a doctor but he insisted it was really hurt and needed immediate attention. A friend took him and they told him it was broke and put a molded cast on until he could get into an orthopedist. His appointment is Monday morning so he has been in quite a bit of pain all weekend. I am glad we will be making a trip there tomorrow (for the wrestling banquet) to assess the situation and take him some things he needs. Please say a prayer for him...
As for opportunities, well, last weekend he helped out at the Special Olympics that were held at North Central. Trenton said he basically just gave high fives and escorted the olympians to and from events. He seemed very proud and told me it was very rewarding for him...made him more thankful for what he is able to do. Trenton also had the opportunity to help out with a Relay for Life held there as well this weekend with a theme of "Kickin' Cancer Out Of This World!" - LOVE IT! He even sent this picture via text message and it touched me...
I mean, think about it, every one of us knows someone that has or has had cancer. It touches EVERYONE. It's big. And we need to be bigger than IT. That's why I love the Relay for Life time...people come together and that's the only way we will beat cancer. Together.
