Taking care of Daddy

Jon has had a bad week. Last Monday his back went out, as usual, but this time we got an MRI to find out what was going on. We found out that every lumbar disc is herniated, some more than others. Ouch! We explained to Mackenzie that Daddy's back was hurt, and he couldn't pick her up right now, or roughhouse like normal. She was very understanding, even helping out when she could. On Sunday, Jon fell asleep on the couch, and Mackenzie put all of her Backyardigans in his arms when it was time for her nap. She said, "Backyardigans make Daddy's back all better!". She took her nap without her Backyardigans (which is highly unusual) just to make Daddy feel better. What a sweetie! Wish Jon luck. He has been having disc decompression therapy, which seems to work, and he starts physical therapy today.
