Poor Brody

The week before Christmas was a tough one for Brody. On Wednesday he got tubes put in his ears and on Saturday he broke his leg. Yep, that is one surgery and one ER visit in the matter of a week. The tubes were planned since our little one has had entirely too many ear infections his first year of life. He did amazing and was a perfect patient. The staff at the surgery center were flirting with Brody and loved his backwards wave. The broken leg happened on Christmas Eve day at the park. He was enjoying some sliding time with Papa when he must have caught his leg. We didn't think his leg was hurt at first since it seemed he got spooked on the slide but his instant cry lasted for about an hour and a half. Needless to say, we spent Christmas Day as a family in the ER. We laughed at the memories we created and were grateful to be together as a family. Like I said, Brody is an amazing patient and was such a trooper. Never a dull moment as a parent.

Oh my goodness! The timing of it all. Poor guy sporting that big cast, poor mama for having to deal with that cast now!

That is horrible and sounds exactly like what happened to Kai two summers ago. I know how hard it is to see our babies hurting. Sending you hugs!

That is the saddest thing! Poor little boy! I bet that was really tough! Hope he and you all are on the mend!
