Zack's Broken Leg . . . Mom's Broken Heart








My big ole fella has a broken leg. Yep . . . a growth plate, hairline fracture of the tibia. Monday night at wrestling practice, another kid his age fell on Zack's leg and bent it backwards at his knee as it was bending and his tibia broke. At the emergency room, they sent us home with some pain killers and said there was nothing wrong . . . oops - guess since there was no radiologist on staff at the time, they mis-diagnosed the fact of how bad it was. For two days he agonized over the pain. We finally got him all fixed up though - here are the photos. Poor guy - no wrestling season for him but he'll be back on the football field in no time!
