This injury apparently affected his walking ability. He skinned it on Friday and was unable to walk all weekend long. The first couple of requests to be carried we helped him out, then we realized he was not planning on walking anytime soon. We decided to let him try to get around on his own to encourage him to walk. He just hobbled around the house crouched down. As the start of school drew closer I began to worry he wouldn't be able to go due to his unwillingness to walk. Monday morning came and he was still not able (willing) to walk. After we finished dropping off all the kids Matt decided to work with Blake. He turned some music on and started doing laps around the room and got Blake to get up and move. At first he was limping and then he gradually put more weight on his leg. He was doing pretty well for about 5 minutes up and sort of walking. For some crazy reason he got back down in his crouch position in the kitchen and then accidentally bumped his knee and it started bleeding again. Of course that only exacerbated his handicap. We took him to school despite his inability to stand up. The picture on the right is the first day in front of the school. Matt carried him to the school and then he kind of hobbled into the classroom. Amazingly when we went to pick him up from school he had been healed and he could walk again.
Blake trying to get to the bus the next day. It wasn't going to work so he got dropped off. So, he waited outside of his class in the flamingo position until it was time to go in.
