Kid funny....

I have been saving the "pop" tabs from soda cans for my Sgt. His nephew had cancer in his leg, so they had to remove the bone. He has a replacement, but it has to be replaced often as he is growing. He is 7 years old. Primary Children's Hospital gives them a credit to their account to offset the cost of his surgeries for each tab they bring in. My youngest pulled one off and brought it to me, exclaiming, "for broken leg." It is only funny because it is so innocent.

If there are too many surgeries, they will remove the entire top of his leg, put his knee into his hip backwards so his foot faces backwards, making his ankle his new knee. Then, they can put a prosthetic on his foot..... so sad......
