Another update

This is another update on John's leg. In the last post John had just been put in a short leg cast. He was in that cast for a month and then was put in a walking boot. He was only allowed to put some weight on his leg, but John was fine with that. What thrilled him the most was that after four months of sponge bathing or covering a cast to shower he was able to take a shower and scrub really well. It was funny because the morning after he got the short cast off he took a bath and shower. We went back to the doctor on Monday, Feb. 16th and his leg is continuing to heal in fact the benign tumor that was found is also filling in with bone. This is wonderful news as it means we no longer have to worry about John needing a bone graph. John is now free of crutches for the fist time in five months and is allowed to put full weight on his leg. He still has at least six more weeks in the walking boot, but we are just glad his leg is healing well.

Yay for John. That is a long time to be on crutches.
I'm glad you get to be home with your kiddos again.
