"Blue" Memories

The other night I was visiting our little friend T's blog. You can see it at www.mslevang.blogspot.com His mom and dad had posted a picture of T sporting his blue cast. It was exactly a year ago that T broke his leg and they were remembering. This brought back memories and I thought we should show T Nick's blue cast from 10 years ago. This is what happened when boy took on culvert with bike. We still think it might have been his attempt to miss the first day of kingergarten. Well, he avoided more then one day.

This is where Nicholas spent 16 days in traction at the age of 5. It was a challenge keeping him occupied but he never complained!
Nick is finally getting to go to school. He has a "blue" cast all the way up to his waist and half way down his other leg. You just can't see it because his shorts cover it. Nick broke his leg right by the growth plate and they were being very careful. Just this year we discovered Nick's recent hip problems were due to the fact that the broken leg was actually 1/4 of an inch longer then the other leg. With the placement of an orthotic he is good to go again!
