Even though Tyson has been a real trooper about not being able to swim, he has really missed it. So, now that he has a smaller cast, we decided that we were going to figure out a way for him to get in the pool. Solution...an inflatable boat! We wrapped his leg in a trash sack to protect against splashes and away he went. The boat worked wonderfully. Even though he is not completely in the water, he can still reach in with his hand and float around. He loves it! Yesterday we even took off his shirt and soaked it in the pool and then put it back on, so he got a little wet, at least. I am sure that this simple little boat will help the rest of Tyson's time in the cast go by a little faster, and gives him a chance to enjoy some of the summer things that he loves to do.
