Back in February Shad went skiing with my brothers, Dad, and brother-in-law at Sundance. I think it was only their 3rd run down when Shad was on a Black Diamond Run and he jump turned to go down the hill and he blew his out in his knee. He even had to be tobogganed down the mountain by ski patrol. It turns out he partially tore his MCL & completely tore his ACL. So for weeks he had crutches to wait for his MCL to heal on its own before they would do surgery on his ACL. Finally at the beginning of April they did the ACL reconstruction on his knee. He was flat in bed for a week, even now he still walks with a limp. He won't be completely healed for 6 months. Here are some pics after he came home from surgery.
His lovely leg, with all the stitches
The kids would often lay in bed with him & watch TV.
Cute kids hanging out with Daddy
He had to leave his leg in this CPM machine for 12-16 hours a day. It would slowly move in & out to keep his leg from tightening up. Oh the joy!
Thanks goes out to his AWESOME doctor and physical therapist. He is recovering quite well. We love you Shad and glad that everything went well.
p.s. I told him I DEFINITELY deserve an AWESOME date night for taking care of him for a whole week straight!

Ugh...no fun. I had my ACL done 3 years ago, and I hope I never have to do it again!
Keep up the physical therapy and you'll be fine :)
Glad everything went well.
Shad looks like he could use an iPad! ;)
That's cute seeing the kids with Shad! And I definitely agree that you deserve a good date night. I hope he plans something fun for you both!
