our first broken bone....

To be quite honest, I'm truly surprised that it has taken three and a half years for me to be writing this post. Gavin is such a rough and tumble little boy, proven by all of the bruising on his little body. Saturday morning, Gavin put on a cape and was calling himself "Harry Potters"he climbed to the top of Nana and Papas playset and jumped - believing that he could FLY! He wouldn't walk on it, but it wasn't really swollen or bruised at all and he stopped crying really fast. I decided to just watch it, on Sunday, I was going to bring him in, but then he took a few steps and it looked about the same. So this morning when he woke up, he still wouldn't walk on it, so I brought him to the clinic for xrays - and it was broken! I feel terrible- I should have just followed my first instinct and brought him to the clinic. I was very impressed with our doctor today, he did a thourough exam and put my mind at ease that no harm was done by waiting a couple of days - but I still feel terrible. The casting was a family affair - but Gavin sat perfectly still and didn't complain at all - he just asked a lot of questions - he's such a good kid. He thinks his blue cast is really cool and can't wait to have people write their names on it. It could have been a lot worse, so we'll take a little broken foot bone!
