Daniel's "Big Green Sock"

Here is a pic of his new, bright green sock - not just any "sock" but a new, waterproof casting "sock". Waterproof is a wonderful thing! Daniel got to pick the color and was quite brave for the wrapping. He will get it off in mid-December and should be good to go after that.

After a few days of staying in one place, Daniel decided he wanted to ride on his 4-wheeler. Paul brought it inside and bungied his leg to the side to hold it up. Luckily, the break was not his right leg - the gas pedal!

The Big Fall


Yesterday Daniel was enjoying his swing when a link in the chain broke loose and lauched Daniel and the swing. He was pretty high up and had a hard fall. We are very thankful that his back and neck were all OK, but he did break both bones in his lower left leg. He is going to be in a hard cast for about 6 weeks. We go to the orthopedic doc tomorrow to find out more. For now, he's not so sure why he has a big, hard sock on that he can't take off. We're also adjusting to no standing, walking, and running...we're not sure how that is going to work. We'll let you know!
