It's about 11 days since Simon's casts were removed and you would almost not notice a limp if you didn't know him. It's amazing how each day he gets stronger... much to our relief. He can do the stairs now, but slower than normal (which is usually dangerously fast anyway.... so this is good.. ha!) We've decided to try and enjoy our summer and not be over obsessed with what's to come with the next few sets of x-rays. What will be will be. We will do the swimming and all the "allowable " activities (staying away for the impact ones) and hope for the best. We are going to try to live our summer as "normal" as possible. Yeah, I'm excited. If the Fall brings bad news, we'll deal with it then. But we are going to think positive here.
In line with this we did an impromptu trip to the beach yesterday and had a blast! Our old thinking would have been.... oh, Simon's legs may be too weak to walk in the sand, it may cause pain... but then I thought I could always carry him, right?. He could still enjoy the ocean view and build sand castles! And that we did! And flew kites! And he was amazing in handling the sand and didn't complain at all. Both boys were so excited to go to the beach (we've only been once since Simon was born) they were ecstatic! It was so fun to see. It really made our weekend.
That sounds like a great plan. It's like Dr. Standard told us "the building's not on fire"..we have time to make decisions. Hope you guys have a great summer, and hopefully come fall things will be much improved and you won't have any real decisions to make! Glad y'all enjoyed yourselves at the beach!
