The Multi-Colored Cast

Well, we had an exciting week. We spent Wednesday at the clinic getting x-rays and a splint put on Reid's leg. Yes, that's right, Reid broke his right leg. He was showing me a "Triple Whip" off of the couch and landed wrong, he has a double spiral fracture of the large bone in his leg. Don't ask me the name of it but it's the big bone! It's broken between the knee and ankle. Lucky for us there is no need for surgery as there often is with spiral fractures. Just 4-6 weeks of wearing a cast and carrying him around. We went in today (Friday) for the first cast, as you can see Reid chose an array of colors. The doctor said to come back in two weeks, do more x-rays and he will probably be able to put on a walking cast that only goes to his knee so Reid can be more mobile. If all goes well he may only have to have the cast for 4 weeks, we will see. He drinks so much milk that hopefully it will pay off in a fast recovery! Reid is really tough and holding up well although he is somewhat more whiney and sensitive but he is doing good. So that is the latest here in Victor.
