We had our first broken bone in our little Fetrow family!
Brad and I have never broken a bone, neither has Sage. Evan was the first to
fracture a bone while playing a game with Sage.
Prior to it happening, I asked the kids to come into their
playroom where we cleaned it up so they could play their spinning game and to
prevent anyone from getting hurt.
I sat there watching them with my phone recording their fun
game- and I captured them “all falling down” and heard Evan hit the floor hard.
As expected, he started crying. I picked him up to try and
calm him and his cries got a little louder. It wasn’t until I put him down to
walk that I realized how hurt he was. He nearly fell as he tried to walk away
from me. I grabbed him and laid him down on the couch to try and see where his
injury was. About 30 minutes laster, he was calm and not in pain. He would not
walk at all or stand up for me.
I took him to urgent care where we spent three hours to get
x-rays and a splint. It took a week for
us to get in to see a pediatric orthopedic. They said it should heal pretty
fast and will only need a cast on for two weeks!!
I was so happy it was only 2 weeks, as we spent a whole week
with him crawling everywhere or carrying him! After the cast had been on for
about 2 days, we was walking!!
We got the cast off in two weeks and he was walking right
away without any hesitation!
We are just happy it was nothing too serious and that it was
over and done pretty quickly! I’m sure there will be many more injuries to come
