Another Injury for my Boy!!
Well folks, he has done it AGAIN!!! My oldest son Dakota, has injured his ankle!! We just got the cast off a couple weeks ago and on Friday, yes the 13th he fell at school and hurt his ankle.
He was running to the gym at school to try and get back inside and out of the cold when he got the bright idea to go around the sidewalk and dodge the traffic. Well that little plan didnt work so well..lol. He stubbed his toe which resulted in his left ankle turning outwards and in an attempt to catch his balance and not fall he stepped on the ankle with his right foot.
He had tried to convince me earlier that morning to let him stay home from school because of it being Friday the 13th. Therefore when I got the call from the school nurse my first instinct was it was a ploy to get to come home. I told him on the phone that I would come and get him and take him straight to the doctor thinking that if he was playing me that hearing that would make him tell me. I was wrong!!!!
We went to the E.R. and they took some x-rays and said there was no obvious fracture but the growth plate(which was what he fractured in his wrist) could be fractured and that will not show up on an x-ray till it starts to heal. We have to go back to the orthopedist on Monday to find out if there is a fracture of the growth plate.
For now he is not allowed to put any weight on his left foot and has to be in a splint on crutches.
As you all can tell he didn't have a good weekend. It is really bothering him that he has got hurt again. He was so happy when the cast came off and now he may be getting another one.
So the saga of being a mother to three very rowdy boys continues for me. i will keep you all posted on the outcome. Please keep your fingers crossed for him. He needs all the luck and prayers he can get right now!!!!
