What To Do With A Broken Leg
The grandkids had dinner with us last night and, as always, it was a nice time.
A couple of days ago, Lukey took a tumble down a set of stairs with his mom... all appeared fine except for some minor swelling in one area of his leg. The following morning he still wasn't putting any weight on that leg so it was time for a doctor... then the hospital... then after some x-rays, it was determined that Lukey had indeed broken his leg!
For now, he has his full leg in a splint. He will, however, be getting a cast shortly (the hospital had computer problems while he was in the ER so they could not view the imaging so they just splinted it for the time being.)
So... what does a three year old boy do on a hot summer day when his leg is in a full leg splint? He plays with Papa's trains!
Of course, he would probably be doing the same regardless of his broken leg but now his activities are a bit limited. (It is a good thing we already spent time at the lake!) Sitting on the floor and playing with the trains was easy for him to do and he always enjoys it so that is what he did last night.
It has been brutally hot the past couple of days so we stayed in the air conditioning as much as possible. I grilled some brats and hot dogs for dinner... we had some cold pasta salad... and some beans. Certainly not a gourmet feast but we were able to cook it all on the grill outdoors... not in the hot kitchen making the living room and kitchen area unbearably hot!
As always, we had a good time! Here are a few photos, below, as well as a very short video...
