Well, Friday on May 5th, Caleb fell off his playset and hasn't walked on his leg ever since. He just wanted to lay down the rest of the evening and we thought we would wait til the morning to see how he was feeling. Things didn't change, so we took him to his pediatrican, who sent us to the hospital for x-rays. The x-rays showed that the bone broke in the spot where Caleb had developed a cyst.

Anyway, Caleb ended up being put under for the casting which is past his belly button and down his entire leg and halfway down the other leg. Luckily he got it in his favorite color (rojo) red. (Caleb calls red "rojo"). He also went through an MRI to check the cyst on his bone. We will know more when we have our follow up appointment. We spent the night in the hospital. Don't know how anyone gets any rest in the hospital, but anyway we made it home on Sunday.

We just want to ask for prayers for our family. I am due in 7 weeks with our second baby and Caleb will probably get his cast off at about 6 weeks from now. I can't lift him--he is about 50 pounds with the cast on. It's hard for me not to be able to hold him since this will be the last few weeks we will only have just our Caleb. We are so proud of Caleb for the sport he has been. He just jibber jabbers away to himself and seems to be in good spirits.

Caleb looks like he's doing great- given the circumstances! I love the picture where spiderman is in the same pose as Caleb. Tell Caleb I love him and that Baby Addison can't wait to see him this summer!
