I guess when you have 3 boys something is bound to happen. On Tue last week Gavin and Colin were playing outside and Colin came in crying pretty hard. It took me quite a while to get him calmed down. After a little while he stopped crying i asked him what happened and he said "basketball" i asked Gavin and he said he fell on the basketball. When Colin got up to walk he was limping pretty good , this was pretty late in the afternoon, so i decided to see if maybe it would get better. Well it didnt and so i called the after hours line for our pediatrician. So they told us to wait till the morning and make an appt. with our doctor. So we got in on Wed and they took x-rays of his ankle our doc didnt see anything and sent us home thinking maybe just a muscle was hurt. On Thur morning our doc called me first thing in the morning and told me that the radiologist looked at it last night and saw a fracture in the ankle. So they made us an appt with an Orthopeadic Surgeon for Mon morning. We tried to keep him off it this last weekend that was not so easy, you would really have never known he was hurt. So Mon is here and we went to the surgeon and they looked at his x-rays and she said that he cracked his fibula towards the bottom of it close to his ankle and of course there is a growth plate there. So they casted his leg, Colin picked Red for his cast. He did great when they put it on, but then tried to walk on it and refused. So i carried him out of there and home we went. He had lunch and had a nap. So now we will see how the rest of the day goes, but they said he will learn to walk on it it may take frustration first. He will have to cast on for 2 and a half weeks. The main reason they put the cast on was that he is 2! And 2 year olds dont seem to listen when you say dont run or jump. So pray for a fast 2 and a half weeks!!!
