Getting Ready

Son #2 is going to have corrective surgery to lengthen his achilles tendon on his left leg, which should (hopefully) improve his range of motion considerably.  The recovery time is 6-8 weeks, no weight bearing.  So, he'll need to use crutches to get around.

first practice -- down the hall at Kaiser

He sleeps in a loft bed with a ladder, which won't work for the recovery period, so we moved some things around in his room and put the mattress on the floor instead.

at the ready

a cozy nest

and it seems to work well for DS game time, too!
