Broken Ankle

Poor Parker... he loves to play basketball early in the morning before school. One morning in early December, one week before finals, I woke up to a phone call from him telling me I needed to take him to the Doctor asap because he just broke his ankle. Well, he didn't actually break it, he just tore a ligament and chipped his bone... that's close enough to broken in my opinion. It was extremely painful for him, and we went home with doctor's orders to keep it iced and elevated the rest of the day. Parker had to wear a boot for the next two and a half months. He finally got it off a couple weeks ago, and now has a brace to wear and is slowly able to walk again. His tendon's are so stiff he can't really bend his foot up or down. It's coming slowly, and most of all we're glad he no longer has the awful boot and crutches!
