Poor Kid

Well, just one more thing to add to the chaos in our life. I need a re-do on the month of September. Christian had a mishap with the bed the other night. He fell off the bed. He seemed ok until the next day when I noticed after his late afternoon nap that something was wrong with his leg. He winched and cried when I was changing his diaper and moving his legs around and noticed he wasn't putting any weight on his leg. He was tring to stand put wasn't able to. So I called the doctor and they told me to come in. They examined him and wrapped his leg in a splint. We then had to make a run to the hospital to get some x-rays. And the results are that it is a fracture of the lower tibia. UGH!!!! We have to keep him in the splint until we see the doctor on Tuesday. We had to be referred to an Orthopedic doctor because the fracture is along a growth plate. Hopefully we will just have to cast the leg and it will heal just fine and not hinder his progress any. But you never know? Fingers crossed we don't have to worry about future complications or surgery to fix it.

Despite having the splint on, Christian is in good spirits. He is still army crawling around the house. I can tell he gets frustrated when he tries to pull him self up and stand, which he is not able to do. He gets stuck somethings and can't roll or move to the right, which is the fractured leg, so he cries and gets upset. I feel bad for him. He was just learning to stand and walk along the furniture and now he can't. I hope his leg heals quickly so he can get back to being himself.
