Staying positive

We are trying to stay positive and think of all the good things about our spica cast situation. Here's what we have come up with so far:

-Less laundry. He's not wearing pants or underwear, which means I don't have to wash them.
-Less guilt. What else is he supposed to do besides watch TV and play video games all day? Alright, he does do other things, but now I don't have to feel bad about letting him watch TV.
-He stays put. When we put him to bed he used to sneak out of bed sometimes. No more! He does yell rather loudly for us, but he's not going anywhere!

That's all we have come up with so far. We're working on more.

On another note, it looks like Mike's mom isn't going to make it much longer. The hospice nurses have started her on Morphine and she is declining quickly. He's trying to spend as much time with her as he can. What a week, right?
