Susie Christensen deserves a medal.
Or at this point, a nap.
The wife of University of Wyoming football coach Dave Christensen has been back and forth from the hospital in Laramie because her husband had a kidney stone surgically removed Tuesday night. This problem came on early Tuesday morning.
Coach Christensen was released from the hospital Wednesday morning and was at Wednesday afternoon’s practice.
But that’s not all Mrs. Christensen has dealt with.
Daughter Emily recently came down with the Swine flu, but is doing fine and feeling better.
Still, the last 48 hours in the Christensen house has been interesting to say the least.
Kudos to Mrs. Christensen for keeping everything together.

Coach Christensen said after UW’s 24-0 loss at Colorado two weeks ago that the offensive line made 12 “critical errors.”
He said in last week’s 30-27 win over UNLV the line played “remarkably better.”
Christensen didn’t know the exact number of critical errors, but said it was less than three.

Check out Thursday’s paper on more on Christensen’s return to practice, and my column on some of the bigger tests this team will face going to Florida Atlantic — both on and off the field.
Also, I had a chance to talk with junior running back Darius Terry this week and I have a story about how he is back in an all too familiar position on the depth chart.
Be sure to check out the live blog again on Saturday (assuming there is Internet service in the press box and I don’t get lost in route). You can check it out at http://blogs.wyomingnews.com/blogs/cowboys/2009/09/29/wyoming-florida-atlantic-live-blog/
