Ankle Update

Well guys, the prayers worked and Brad is at home resting comfortably, but we are not out of the woods yet...When they got in there to survey the damage they realized that it was even more serious than they thought (I didn't know it got more serious than broken/dislocated and torn ligaments). Anyway, it turns out that his fibula had actually splintered into several pieces and the major ligament that attaches his foot to the rest of his body was torn. They had to put in a plate and six screws in order to repair it and now he starts the recovery process.

We are looking at a splint for 7 days, a hard cast for 4 weeks and then a boot for 2 to 4 weeks after that. After he gets the boot off, rehab will start so we will be hoping for the fastest recovery possible.

P.S. I think Brad will be the Nintendo Wii champion of the world by the time this is all said and done...his hand-eye coordination is pretty unbelievable anyway, but I am thinking about putting him on a strict Wii training regimen to see how far we can take this thing...

Hang in there Brad!!!! Wii World Championships or Bust!
