Monday we went to the Doctor again for another x-ray since he was still not walking. The x-ray still didn't show anything but his doctor did say there was still swelling and we could see some tissue damage on the x-ray.
She referred us to an Orthopedic doctor for further evaluation since he wasn't walking on it yet and there was no explanation for it. So we make the appointment for the next day. And of course that night he started walking on it but had a limp. Great now what do we do?
We decided to still take him just to be sure. He woke up the next morning and did walk around but after awhile he would stop and say it hurt.
The Ortho looked at it, pushed around, saw him walk, looked at the x-ray, heard how it happened and decided that even though the x-ray is not showing it, it is broken (obviously a hairline fracture but a brake). He did give him a anything for it since he is already walking on it but he just said to not let him jump and just to watch him not let him walk on it too much and to come back in two weeks.
So there you have it. Nothing to extreme which is an answer to our prayers.

Alli I had no idea! Oh that so brings back flash-backs for me. Those darn slides. If you need me to overnight our little walking cast I can (they're stinkin' expensive and my insurance didn't cover them). How that little cast has come in handy in our family! :) xo
Here's to NO more injuries this summer!! I think we've had enough!
