Jackson's x-rays showed that he has a fracture in his left leg, above his ankle. So, after the hospital send Joe and Jackson home after the x-ray and they were both home for about an hour...we got a call from the pediatrician's office saying that we should go back to the hospital to get a temporary splint put on until we see the orthopedic to have a cast put on. So, all three of us headed over to the hospital and waited to see someone. We finally got in and they used the same stuff they use for a cast under his leg and put ace bandages around his leg to keep everything in place. It's been hard to keep it on him because he wants to take it off and play with it.

In a few hours we go to the doctor to see what they are going to do to it, which better darn well be to put in in a cast because it takes two of us to keep him occupied so that he will sit and play with some toys and not pull all the bandages off. And ya never know, maybe we'll be able to pick the color and get him red or blue or something!

The kicker of this whole situation is that everyone keeps asking us how he did it...it's not like the poor child fell off of something and I can give an answer. He walks, runs, and falls. The other thing that's funny is that the doctors were telling us to keep his foot elevated, iced and not to walk on it. Try explaining that to a 14 month old baby who recently learned to walk and wants to run all over and doesn't get that we need to sit and watch tv. It's been interesting around here but the upside is that he was able to sleep last night without waking up in pain. No matter what, he's a darn good sleeper!
