He'll never learn...

Chris came home a couple weeks ago from playing basketball with some neighborhood boys, and he was limping... Yes, yet another basketball caused injury. Poor Chris twisted his ankle on another boy's foot, badly enough to brake his ankle (calcaneus) bone clean through. Apparently, this is a very rare break.  The ankle bone is really well protected by ligaments, tendons, and other bones, and not easily broken. So I guess Chris is pretty good at injuring himself :)  Luckily, the bone fragment that was broken off hadn't been moved from it's correct placement, even though Chris is proud of the fact that he kept playing with his broken ankle and not only won the game, but dunked the ball as well...:) 


So right now Chris either wears the boot, or crutches around. In two weeks we have another doctors appointment where we'll find out how his bone is healing.  If it is healing well, we may be able to ditch the boot.  If not, Chris may be due for another surgery. We're really hoping that his bone is healing, especially with our baby coming so soon.
