Well, we have had regular legs for over three weeks. This boy is doing it all. In this picture, he just completing a jump. But I was out with him the other day, and I had a friend witness him. She said, “Your boy is amazing. He has the best attitude of anyone I’ve ever met.” She was right on the money. As he was running, jumping, spinning and hopping for her, he smiled the whole time. He never complained in his cast, and he hasn’t since.
He still walks with a limp, due to his 2 cm of shortening. The doctors shorten it on purpose because the increased blood supply to the injured leg will make it grow too much, which would make it too long. So they make it shorter so that by the time the heeling process is over, the legs will be more even. Apparently, in about 6 months, this should all be history. 2 cm is in the okay range, but we are hoping for 1 cm or less.
But in the meantime — my boy with the very best attitude keeps trucking along.
