Thomas got his skis crossed at the top of the local ski hill on his first day of lessons. Here's the result...a nasty looking fracture of his right leg.
The orthopedic doctor explained that this break is actually going to heal very well because it is so long, giving the bones a nice large surface to knit back together. And his cast is completely waterproof, which makes life much easier!
Update: As of January 12th he's using his crutches well, is able to get into the tub by himself, and is generally independent. He gets itchy inside his cast, which drives him crazy, but he's doing well overall.
