Parker

On July 3rd Parker broke his leg while we were here in Utah. He jumped off a window ledge and got bumped while he was in the air. He landed wrong and broke his tibia(big bone in lower leg). It was horrible, we thought the summer was ruined.

He was in a lot of pain and had to be carried everywhere at first.
After a couple days he wasn't hurting as bad, and we found creative ways he could still play with all his cousins.
He loved all the attention he got.
After he got the hard cast Grandma Debbie nicknamed him "Scooter" because he became mobile. He could get anywhere he wanted to go by scooting all over the floor.
Now after 2 weeks of being in the cast he taught himself to walk.
Parker's cast doesn't even phase him, he can still do all the things his cousins can do, and he has a cast from his foot all the way up to his thigh.

I didn't know about the bumped in the air part. Glad he is doing well. Sorry about the broken leg. I think Scooter may stick......
