FrankenFoot

We were just up in Anchorage so Sean could see the Doctor again. This time he pulled Sean's pins. I won't go into any detail in case you have a weak stomach; but I will say: Holy Cow! That HAD to hurt! Sean is still dealing with some nerve pain, but with physical therapy it should go away over the next two weeks or so.


Sean was very excited to hear that he is now able to leave the couch. He is to begin putting a small amount of weight on his foot several times a day with the boot). Over the next three weeks his goal is to become crutch-less! I don't know which makes him happier - leaving his island (the couch) or loosing the crutches. He'll still be in the boot for several weeks afterwards - but the light is definitely there.

The other nice part of the doctor's visit in Anchorage is that we got to spend time with family & the Hubbells. We haven't gotten to spend near as much time as we would like with Jennifer, Billy & Will since they've been up here but hope to change that now that summer is almost here.




Will is such a good kid and he's very cautious with Addison. He's careful not to step on her or accidently knock her down and was very quick to share his toys with her.


We also got time with Nana, Grandpapadopolis, Phil & Colin. Addison got some snuggle time with both grandpapadoplis and Nana.



Phil tried to get some computer work done. As you can see, it wasn't very successful.


Addison nearly hyperventilated when she saw Colin. She was so excited to play with her little cousin!


While we were there, Sean hooked his computer up to the tv and Addison was thrilled to see her pictures enlarged. She squealed, laughed, clapped her hands and pointed to the screen to make sure we all could see the pictures.



Addison & I got to visit Billy's plane (MD-11) while we were up there. Addison seemed pretty impressed with all of the buttons but was most excited to see all of the other kids that got to visit the cockpit.



All in all it was a great trip - easy for me to say; I wasn't the one who had pins pulled!!!
