Our New Year Started With a Break.

12-31-2015. New Years eve day, Mac decided to be a rambunctious little boy and break his leg. He wasn't really doing anything out of the ordinary, just climbing around on the furniture. He feel over the side of the Lazy Boy, but his foot stuck between the cushions and kept him from falling on his head. Thank goodness Mom had made the boys a big pancake breakfast because Mac broke his leg at 10:00 am and we didn't get home from all the doctors offices until 4:00 pm. All the boys were cranky, tired and hungry by the time we got home and Mom and Dad needed a drink!

A little over a week into the cast, Mac went in to have it re-cast. He was walking around on it so much that chunks and piece of the cast were falling off around the house. Dad came up with the idea to put a tire patch on the bottom of the cast, so Mac could get some traction on the hard floors.His poor toes really took a beating though.

Mac went through a big adjustment after breaking his leg. He became almost infantile and actually took to sitting in the baby swing and wanted to be held constantly. Mom liked it at first, because she already misses those baby days, but it also made things more difficult and stressful. Mac had his full leg cast for 3 weeks. Boys, Boys, Boys.
