Casting Time! Gabe is going in next week to get DOUBLE casts. Woo hoo. Fun times. He is growing so rapidly that his poor tendons cannot keep up with his bones. This time even his left leg has lost some motion, so we're casting as a precautionary measure. He's only going to be in the casts over the weekend; he'll have them put on May 28th and have them off on June 1st. After the casting comes the *real* fun. Botox injections. Gabe's physical therapist thinks that he could benefit from botox injections; they will relax his muscle, give him more range of motion, and he'll be more comfortable (aside from the initial injection) I'm honestly not looking forward to the shots themselves, but do want him to be more comfortable. The botox will allow Gabe's braces to stretch his tendons properly without having to be casted again, so it's a good thing, just a bit scary (and a lot expensive!)
Other than that, we've been enjoying the gorgeous weather as of late and this weekend Geo is building us a raised bed garden. The kiddos and I are in charge of planting (tomatoes, peppers, beans, garlic, and onions) and he's in charge of actually building it. I think he's got the easy part ;) We finally got the rest of our flowers planted and just have sunflowers to plant and we'll be done. We have Lily of the Valley along one side of the house and wow does it smell gorgeous. When I hang laundry all I can smell is Lily of the Valley, what a yummy smell. Too bad it doesn't make the laundry smell like it ;)
Hope you're all doing well, I'll post some picture of the raised bed this weekend!
