Brody fell at school, during recess and rebroke his right leg. He had to have more surgery and he was upset. But he had great plans to play summer baseball so that will be on hold for another year. He came through the surgery and was able to go home sooner than his parents thought. The doctor did a surgery which he has had great success with with children under age 10. Normally, a surgery for adults, the doctor was able to put a rod in his leg starting at the hip and traveling north and south down his right leg. He has used the walker and wheelchair but plans to be able to walk on his leg again soon.
Last Friday evening, the baseball program they participate in had a special program before the start of their season. All the kids came onto the field and Brody & Blake were throwing out the first pitch. The mayor in their city heard their story from a friend who came to a city council meeting and talked about the boys. The mayor deemed Friday, April 11, 2025 as Brody & Blake Day. The kids on the field chanted their names and the police officers and fire fighters who were first on the scene from their accident were there to meet the boys first hand. It was quite a moving experience and wonderful evening. The weather was perfect.
