Mckay broke his leg skiing last weekend! The first few days he was in a lot of pain, but he is doing much better now. Right now his leg has a splint, but they will put a cast on it this week. The doctors won't let him use crutches because they say too many kids this age forget they have a broken leg, put weight on it, and do more damage. So Mckay has a wheelchair for a few weeks until they think he is ready to start walking on it. Mckay has had fun with his wheelchair! He is pretty good at getting around the house and is not so dependent on us as much. We're just happy that he didn't need surgery! We are becoming well known at Primary Children's Hospital with everything Mckay has gone through the past 3 months!

AH!! Holy Cow! Tell McKay to slow down the excitement a little. You guys need a 'breather.' I would also advise him on not going down the stairs in the wheelchair! ;) Glad he is doing better!
Sorry to hear about it. I guess if you were to pick somebody to be good freidns with a hospital would be the right people! Good luck with everything. Love you guys.
oh man! glad he's feeling better & hopefully his total recovery will be smooth & quick!
