Broken

So we have our first broken bone with the boys. It happened a couple of days ago at the park. Kei was sitting in my lap on a slide when his shoe caught on the side and pulled his leg down and under mine while we went down. I thought at first his hip was dislocated, and he was less than cooperative with our pediatrician. We went home and muddled through the night...still having stomach issues with a bad stomach bug. He hardly slept and could not bear weight at all. Pops was the first to notice his swollen ankle. Of course at the doctor's office his whole leg was swollen so it was hard to notice that until later. We went back yesterday and that is when our doctor and his wonderful staff suffered the screams of my child and found the break in his tibia. We went directly to the Orthopedist where they confirmed the break and casted his whole leg. I was surprised in his almost sudden change. He seemed happier and not near as in pain. He slept the whole night...yes, the whole night and woke up happy and finally able to stomach real food. He got to get out today with Daddy and Grandpa and brother. He is pretty frustrated about being stuck in the floor but he's already figuring out how to crawl around. We'll go back next week to x-ray his leg again to make sure it's healing correctly and then another 3 weeks in the cast. Gonna be a whole new normal around here for the next month. You've seen his eating pictures and now we can't give him proper baths, lol. Fun, fun! I'm thanking God though because this could have been so much worse. Here are some pictures from last night after we got home. He was pretty pooped out.

The Aunties had to sign his cast of course. Cam doesn't really understand what is going on. He's a little frustrated that life isn't going on as normal. Fortunately lots of family have pitched in taking him to the park and outside so things are somewhat normal.
