About a month ago we got one of those phone calls no parent ever wants to get!
"Hi Mom! I'm in the emergency room. I think I broke my leg skateboarding."
And break it he did! He had a nasty break that required surgery and will mean a couple of months of being 'non-weight bearing'. George and I did some tag team parenting with Dad taking the first couple of post surgery days and Mom spending the next two weeks helping out.
I think he was glad for the help, food and company! His post-op x-ray is pretty impressive. I was amused by one comment after seeing the x-ray on Facebook. "You impaled a comb into your leg in a skateboard accident. Brutal." I think he is going to set off the metal detectors in airports from now on.
His scar is quite something too! Yes this was some major surgery!
I'm happy to report that 5 weeks out, he is doing well, healing like the doc would like, and keeping in pretty good spirits! I'm glad I was able to be there to help.
I also got to be there when John, Monica and Isabella moved into their new apartment.
They don't have much furniture yet but we were able to do some 'furniture dreaming' while I was in town!
Plus I got to spend time with Scott and part of that time was out on a soccer field, which still seems perfectly normal! Also enjoyed a fun pizza night!
And of course I relished my 'grandma time' with little Miss Isabella!
5 months is a fun age! She learned to reach for her Moma!
And tried her first solid food!
Which she did learn to enjoy!
She now rolls over, loves books, smiles and makes adorable happy noises! I love that sweet girl. She is pure joy!
