Broken bones

Sorry for the sudden stop in our make-a-wish story. Last week we dropped Mike off at MDA camp in Empire, Colorado. The next day he broke his leg when his friend ran into him with Mike's scooter. We've learned why Mom always told us not to let someone else play with your scooter.

Anyway....They called me at home to get the okay to go to the ER in Frisco. I was sure it was just a sprain and was shocked when they called to say it was broken! My next shock came when Mike decided to stay at camp until Friday. My little boy is now a tough boy! Since he was pretty pain free and they couldn't do much besides splint it until the swelling went down they said he could stay.

So, we are now home after a very long day in the car(12hours). Grandma and Granddad were kind enough to take the girls so they wouldn't be trapped in the car like Mom and Dad. Which was nice for Mike because he could put his leg up and rest. We go into the orthopedic doctor today and are hoping for an alternative to a cast so Mike can stay walking.

With all the excitement of our first broken bone and having him so far away I kind of forgot about everything else. Stay tuned for an update and the remaining few days of our fabulous Make-a-Wish trip!
