Evan's Broken Foot

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  J
