xray

you'd think with 3 boys we would've already had a few ER trips to check for broken bones...fortunately, yesterday was our first. on sunday night abram decided to launch himself off of the coffee table and must've landed wrong. he told me right away "my foot is hurtin'!!" and sure enough, he wouldn't walk on it. i gave him some motrin and put him to bed hoping it was just sore and he'd be fine in the morning. not so...he woke up screaming and wouldn't get out of bed. he kept saying, "i can't walk!" i called the pediatrician's office and took him in for an xray. the doctor was more concerned about his tibia than his foot and saw an area of concern on the xray, but was pretty sure it was okay. she wrapped him up in what he called his "elmo bandaid" because it was red and sent us home to wait for the final read from the radiologist. thankfully, later that evening she called and said it was normal. today, he's limping, but saying it doesn't hurt, so i think we're in the clear! i'm sure this won't be the last time we have an experience like this. in the meantime, i think he, and his brothers, are convinced NOT to jump off the furniture anymore! how cute is his little leg all wrapped up?!!
he was worn out after fighting the radiology tech during his xrays. she warned me that he'd probably have bruises on his legs from where she had to hold him so tight...poor guy!
