Entourage


James went in for an X-ray yesterday, and everything is still in the right position.  He has to go back in two weeks, and at that time they may be able to take off the long cast and give him a walking cast.  (This is a little different from what we were told when he first got the cast -- they said the cast might just come off by then -- but we'd be fine with anything that lets him get back to walking!)  He also got the green light to be allowed to scoot/crawl around on his bottom, so at least he can move around the playroom or their bedroom when he's playing with Matthew.

It was very sweet -- parents aren't allowed in the X-ray room, so when they were wheeling him back, he said, "I love you, Mama!"  (Everyone in the waiting room said, "Awww.")

The boys' school had a book fair and "guest reader" night yesterday as well.  We ran into one of the boys' friends right away, and at the first part of the evening (a reading and harp performance), James was surrounded by his kindergarten friends. :)  Later, his two best friends were very excited to get to push his wheelchair (for obvious reasons, they're not allowed to do that during regular school).

It's also very sweet that the last couple days James has come home with more drawings and get well cards from his friends.  The first batch was a class activity, but apparently some of the kids are still making him cards/pictures just in their free time.

Mike is hanging in there with his liquid diet -- he's much less cranky about it than I would be!
