He has a little gym class with Andrew and the class was
almost over. They were just running around for the last 10 minutes and he
fell, I guess twisting his leg…and in the end, breaking it. He screamed
and was in so much pain. After getting him home, giving him medicine,
icing it and calling the doctor, we went in and ended up in the hospital for an
x-ray. We came home with a orange cast --- from his toes all the way over
his knee.
He was a trooper overall…but my heart just broke for him and
I must have cried several times myself today. It was a break all the way
through the bone but should heal fine with a cast. We count my blessings
for that. We go back in 3 weeks for x-rays again and then a new cast.
Most likely 6 weeks total. :(
Worst part, he will not be able to walk on it. I am
still trying to get my arms around that one. We will need to get very
creative. I am sure he will have our whole house decorated by Christmas
with all the art projects we will be working on. Feel free to pass along
any ideas!!!!
Keep the little guy in your prayers. Taking stronger
medicine tonight…hopefully the pain will be gone in a couple of days. I
am sure he will find new ways to get around…crawling, scooting…that little guy
needs to stay active! Wish us all luck too! This should be
interesting.
