Broken leg again

          So Tuesday Troy had to work on his day off so the kids & I decided to  make Troy a special dinner when he got home, we made lobster, crab legs, chedder garlic biscuits, pasta & some beets from our garden & cheesecake for dessert. We had just finished eating, the kids were cleaning up the table & Linki was finishing up. He was finished & wanted to get down from the table so Addy thought she would help him to the livingroom, just before the carpet they fell. I jumped up & picked them both up. I knew his leg was broken then, I was so sad & mad & felt so bad for my poor baby. He didn't cry too much but we had Angie come & check it, she took some of the kids to her house. Troy gave Linki a blessing & we were off to the hospital, after we dropped the rest of the kids off with Angie & Clint.( We are so blessed to have them so close. They are always willing to help us no matter what.)
       We got to the Timpanogos hospital around 10. The same nurse that has helped us the last 2 times was there again & got him an xray right away. His femur was broken right above his cast, but their ortho doctor doesn't do the kind of cast that he needed so they called an ambulance & sent us up to Primary Childrens.    

Even though he was in pain he was excited to ride with the firemen. Once we got to Primaries it was a lot of waiting, to see the er doctor, then for the ortho dr. , for them to get a room for us & for them to fit him in for surgery. They got him in to the operating room around 3 the next afternoon.He had to be put under for the procedure. They placed his bones back together& put a stica cast on him. It goes from his lower chest to his knee on the unbroken leg & to his ankle on the broken one. There is a hole for him to go to the bathroom, but we have to be very careful not to let his cast get dirty.

The hospital lent us a special carseat for him to use while he is in this cast.  we were finally able to leave around 9 that evening . A full 24 hours in the hospital.Troy got him this cute sock monkey at the gift shop & the timpanogos hospital gave him the moose. He will be in this cast for 6 weeks but he should be able to regain his muscle control quickly. He has had a little bit of a hard time since we got home , he is frustrated & upset & just doesn't know how to express himself. But it has been so nice to have family around to help with the kids. Angie & Clint have had them, Jackie came & helped with them on Wednesday while Angie worked, she made me & Troy dinner & cleaned up our house , then she took the kids for a sleepover at her house & returned them the next day.  Chris came out early Wednesday morning until Jackie made it & came back last night to pick up the kids for a sleepover at her house, so I could have some alone time with Linki to figure out how to take care of him. Anthony & Tiffany brought us some pizza & cinnamon rolls & have been so thoughtful , Tiffany called the compassionate service leader & she has arranged meals for us for a couple of days, she also came to see us in the hospital & brought Linki some presents. Christina & Lindsey came to the hospital to visit Linki & brought us a toothbrush & a phone charger.

       I feel so blessed to have so much loving family who are willing to help no matter what we need . Everyone has been so great & caring & called to see what they could do. Troy & I didn't worry at all about the other kids while we  were in the hospital because everyone stepped up & did what they could to help. Thank you guys for your love, prayers & support. We love you.
