ER Again!

The weather today could not be beat.  The kids came in early to the grounds and practiced hard until showtime. We even had guest from over 3 hours away come for a visit, Eric and Vaughn VerSteeegt. Great folks. 
It was at the last show that the day got weird.  Jim and Brandon were performing their old "Peck's Bad Boy" routine and then Brandon got....two broken toes on the left foot...while doing his old routine with Jim they used a taller ladder and Brandon missed Jim's back and came down on his toes (we had his toes rolled in instead of being flat footed) He kicked his shoe off and immediately told Jim he couldn't walk...Jim put him on his shoulders they both put their hands out, smiles and exited....backstage there was no doubt he was hurting. The fair board got us first aid helpo right away but there was a little lump that should not have been there (his toe bone) and so off to the ER. Victor Jr stayed with him the entire time and even played cards with him at the hospital (which was only 1/2 mile away) Mami, and I went too. The staff and doctor were great. His toe was reset, the other toe didn't need setting. In spite of all this Brandon still wants to go to the Blue Bunny Museum and store tomorrow......kids! He is back at the hotel with pain pills (if needed) and his foot propped up. He said on his way out of the hospital that he always wanted crutches. LOL. He was in great spirits at the hotel.
