I want to thank everyone for all of their help and prayers over the last couple of weeks. It has been amazing to see how people in the community have helped our family. We've had food delivered to us and visits which has been great for the soul. Chris mom took a couple days off work and came out to help with the kids which was great as I could take a break and put my foot up for a bit. My mom has also been a wonderful help, coming and doing laundry, bathing Madison and taking the kids for us so we could go to the city for all of the doctor appointments. I was able to go for my surgery and things went well. They only had to put 1 plate, 2 bolts and 7 screws in. One thing I asked was if I would set off the metal alarms in airports and I was told I probably would. I got my new cast on Wednesday and it is a fibre glass cast that is bright pink, so at least I was able to have so fun picking out the color. Zander keeps calling it blue (but if you ask him everything is blue!) and he pretends now that his ankle is broken and tells me that he can't walk but the doctor will make it better! He is getting to be quite the little pretender, he now has imaginary friends, who he calls Katie, Grandma and Papa! I love watching him play and our new thing to do together is to play with playdough while Madison is sleeping. Madison is still growing like a weed and smiling, she loves to sit up now - we bought her a bumbo chair (pictured above) and she can sit in it for a couple of minutes at a time so her neck is getting stronger. I'm not sure if Madison is coulicy or not, but she usually has a couple of hours a day where she just screams and it doesn't matter what I do, I have to say it is very distressing and quite often bring me to tears as I hate not being able to stop her crying, so in the end I end up putting her down usually in the swing and Zander gets mad at me because his little sister is crying! He has gotten to be quite the protective big brother. Chris will come home from work and pick Madison up and instant quiet. It drives me nuts! She is already a daddy suck. I'm getting quite good with the wheelchair and the crutches. I get my cast off on April 8, just before easter but I still won't be able to walk on my own as I am not allowed to put weight on my foot for another 2 weeks so it will be a long March and April, but Zander is being a great help and he still loves to cuddle which I love too!
