Little Boy Blue...Cast

Matthew seems to be doing pretty good this morning after all the excitement he has had.
He loved going down the slide with his siblings....until he stuck his foot out to the edge of the slide. Oh dear! He cried harder than I had ever heard him cry (I wanted to cry too) and he really favored his left leg. Basically no swelling though. It was Tuesday evening so we gave him motrin and somehow managed to get through the night.
We headed in to Flagstaff Wednesday and sure enough the x-rays confirmed a green stick buckle on both bones in his left leg. They said it is pretty rare for someone his age.

We had to go to yet another doctor to get a cast for him. He enjoyed being a clown and making faces at the doctors while they were discussing the fracture with us. It was amazing how much better he felt just having it stabilized.

We are not having to give him too much pain meds....he does pretty good. Except when he gets more active with playing then you can tell he is in more pain. They said he can put weight on it when he is comfortable with that.

Matthew, the day before

He was really good about it.

Happy to be back home I guess.
