MITCHELL'S HURT HOOF!

 Mitchell unfortunately, broke the growth plate in his foot over the holiday break and had to have surgery.  Not fun!  He broken the growth plate and tore the tendon in his big toe!  OUCH!  We were at Jump On It!  We thought he just had hurt it really bad or sprained his toe. After a week of the pain not going away and the toe not getting any better we decided he needed to see a doctor.  
Well, worst case scenario: 
BROKEN GROWTH PLATE AND TORN TENDAN!

He was very frustrated, 

BASKETBALL SEASON WAS OUT!!!!  

 He went in for surgery a week later.  All went well. He had to be on crutches for a week, it was not fun.  Snow and Crutches do not mix well.  Luckly, he now is in a walking boot, which he likes a lot better than crutches.  He will be in the walking boot for 4 weeks, and hopefully we can get him back to his happy and healthy self real soon!

As you can tell from the picture above he is going a little stir crazy!  He is not one to sit and relax and enjoy himself.  He is all boy and needs to be wrestling, running, moving

and goofing around outside!

WARNING!!!!! THE PICTURE BELOW MAY GROSS YOU OUT!!!!!!

This is a picture of Mitchell's toe the week after his surgery!  We are grateful for the doctors who have the knowledge to help get Mitchells foot back in working order!!! We love you buddy!  

Get feeling well SOOOOOOON!
