Piper’s Cast

Today Piper had a cast put on her leg. The purpose is to give her muscle a chance to rest and relax. She will have the cast removed in a week and a new one put on and then that one will be removed in another week and another cast put on. This will continue for somewhere between three and six weeks. After the last cast is removed she will start physical therapy.

Piper was great getting the cast on — probably because they gave her an ipad and let her watch a movie. She never gets an ipad to play on so that was a real treat and it occupied her almost the entire time they were working on her leg.

A Few Pictures From This Past Week

We haven’t done much this past week and today it rained most of the day, but I have a few pictures to post.

This was Luke’s first week here with us and the kids have loved playing with him.

Andrew doing some schoolwork on the front porch since the weather was so nice.

Bethany still plays a lot in her outdoor kitchen. She planted a garden and it is actually starting to show signs of growth. She may have some flowers this summer.

We also planted a flower garden up next to the house. We didn’t do a very good job and we were rushed to get it done, but I am hoping that something grows. Right now it is just dirt and not even nice smooth broken up dirt. Maybe in a couple of months I will have pictures of some beautiful flowers — or maybe not.

Asher and Reagan came to visit one day and I only took a couple of pictures. It is nice that the kids can go outside and run and play when they come over. Asher plays on the steps which worries me cause I always think he is going to fall — but, he usually doesn’t.
