Crutches be Gone

 

For TWO solid weeks this kid has used crutches non-stop, well other than scooting up and down the stairs in the house.  He honestly has done it with much grace and very little complaining, but today we were so excited to return to the surgeon to get the stitches removed and get rid of the crutches!  Or so we thought . . . 

We were ALL super sad to find out he still needed to be on crutches for a couple more days.UGH! :(  Apparently, without the stitches, the skin still needs some time to heal, pressure-free.  So back to carpool and crutches for two more days it was.  Thankfully there were kids in the neighborhood willing to help out with his backpack so for two days I drove 5 boys to school (two of which were on crutches).  Talk about carpool back up when I arrived LOL

But shortly after the two days, he was ready to go, and off to Cotillion with Savannah he went, crutches free.  He still isn't cleared to run and jump but oh how thankful we are to be rid of crutches!!!  We are also thankful that pathology came back clear so no more mole issues on the foot for Preston. :)
