Little Helper

Josh hurt his ankle the other day running. The streets and sidewalks in Morocco are HORRIBLE. He was doing his morning run and a piece of asphalt gave out when he stepped on it. His ankle rolled and he fell. He rested on the sidewalk for a while and got up to walk the 1/4 mile home. On the way home he stepped in a crack in the sidewalk and rolled the ankle again. He said that was the point where he almost passed out from the pain. He limped home and after it swelled, turned purple and he couldn't put any weight on it, he went to the clinic.
They said he either tore a muscle or fractured the bone. They are going to recheck it on Monday.
Andrew has been a tremendous help. He's helped make breakfast for Josh and runs up and down the stairs getting items Josh needs. He's quite proud of all the help he has provided. It's nice to see him enjoy helping others.

Yikes! That sounds miserable. I hope it's not broken. Good thing for Andrew though!
