At the end of April, Thad fell out of a tree and broke his arm. Because of its placement, Thad, Zeke and I ended up on a medevac to Cairns, Australia so that it could be set properly by an orthopedic surgeon there.

| The new (plaster) cast and sling |
 |
| As a nursing baby, Zeke got to come along with Thad and mommy and was a happy guy most of the time |
 |
| Thad, and the crocodile friend we acquired in Cairns, now 5 weeks later waiting to have the cast removed at our own clinic. |
 |
| The removal process is noisy and a bit dusty. The fiberglass top covering first... |
 |
| Then the plaster underneath... |
 |
| prying it all apart... |
 |
| And the arm is free! |
