Broken Leg

Yesterday we had our first broken bone in our family. I'm sure you're all thinking it would be Isaac's leg, right? Well, it was actually little Mikey. Kira and a friend were playing with Mikey and brought him up on the trampoline to jump with him. Well, they got jumping a little too high and when he came down, his little leg just couldn't take the impact and he got a buckle fracture on his upper tibia. Poor little guy. He was pretty miserable yesterday. He's doing a little better today as long as we keep Motrin in him. He has a soft cast on right now and I'll take him back on Monday to see the orthopedic doctor to get a real cast. The cast goes above his knee so he can't walk, crawl, or really even move right now. Carrying him is kind of hard because I can't put him on my hip like usual so I have to kind of cradle him like a baby (which still hurts a little and he doesn't really love). And, no swimming for a month! :( I've never had a broken bone or any kids with broken bones so I'm not entirely sure how fast things heal but I'm assuming he'll be much better in about a week even though he has to wear the cast for a month? Isn't he so stinkin' cute!
