holy broken leg batman...

So we're going to call it broken leg tuesday. It was a cool night, and an early morning. You see we have no furnace with the remodel and all, so the kids had slept in the apartment. It was 8:00 in the morning when Kolby came running in Troy broke his leg, Troy broke his leg!!! (of course I was going to take that with grain of salt since every scratched knee is a broken leg at our house.) Well silly me..... Broken it was! And broken bad! We had it x-rayed here in Kanab, but we had to go to St. George to have it set by an orthopedic surgon. So these are the pictures of Troy being very brave, even giving me a smile for the camera, after coming out of anesthesia. Things have not been so happy since then. But he's going to be ok! I'm so relieved. It's so hard to see him like this, and he's not so happy about it either. His favorite thing to say is, "get me outa here!" I wish I could let him! Anyway we are in for a challenging 6 weeks, but I'm so grateful for all of the help! Thanks everyone for your support!
Isn't this bear cute? They gave it to him in the radiology dept. of the Kanab hospital, and he is still hugging it even tonight in bed.

Oh my goodness poor kid! what happened? Will you have to carry him around while he is in the cast? I am so sorry for you guys. It looks like you had enough going on already.

Oh that's horrible! Poor little Troy. We'll be praying for him to recover fast.

I'd want to get outta there too! Poor kid. At least he'll be out of it before Summer REALLY gets here. Good luck!
