Quick update

We had our first return visit with the doctor yesterday, to make sure Zach's leg is healing appropriately. They took an x-ray, a process that absolutely terrifies Zach (sigh). The entire time we were there, which was a while, since once again we had to wait, he just kept repeating "I want to go home." The doctor remembered that was Zach's constant refrain at the hospital too, and commented that our house must be a great place to be. :)

Anyway, the good news is everything is healing well. Even I, with my uneducated eye, could see on the x-ray that the bones looked more "fused" - less space in between the two broken segments. Hooray!

Unfortunately, we didn't get a target end date; we need to go back again next week for one more x-ray, and then they'll give us a date to have this cumbersome beast removed.

I'm including a picture of some of the gifts Zach has received and is enjoying - a Cars laptop from Scott's parents, a big hit, and a blue bear he got from "Sylvia's grandma and Jim," as he calls them (our friend Adam's parents). He's funny about new things, especially stuffed animals, so we're amazed at how much he's taken to that blue bear - he loves it!
