Wild Boy

Last week Colt and Pierce were playing downstairs together while I was upstairs making dinner. Pierce casually comes upstairs and then I think I hear Colt crying. I thought maybe he had gotten locked in his room so I asked Pierce if Colt is crying. He says yes. I ask him to go get him out. He gives me a funny look and says, "He is not in his room." I get weirded out because of his body language and ask Saffryn to go let Colt out of his room (I was stirring dinner and really thought he was just locked in). Saffryn willingly goes down and comes back up and says, "mom, he isn't in his room he is just lying on the floor screaming."

Me to Pierce, "What happened?"

Pierce: "Well he jumped off the pool table and hurt himself."

Me: "WHAT. And you just left him down there?!??"

Pierce matter of factly: "well he was screaming and crying and I didn't want to be around that."

Sheesh!!! 

I go get him and he refuses to put any weight on it and can't calm down. Poor baby boy!

Here he is at the ER

Long story short the soonest we could see a pediatric orthopedic doctor was a week later. They wanted his swelling to go down before they treated it. So we had several days of this:

He also scooted on his butt or crawled with his foot up in the air. Poor kid. Lots of down time made for a very wiggly and unhappy boy. 

Saffryn drew a picture of what happened. Enjoy

Colt jumping off the pool table. Notice the arrow pointing down and the arrow pointing to where the story goes next :)

Then he was lying on the floor screaming. 

Then mom came and picked him up. 

Then he sat on the chair with his foot up. 

Haha!!!

We finally got to go to the doctor and it turns out it was fractured in two different places. He gets (has) to wear this boot for the next five weeks while it heals. Then, we get a recheck to see how it is doing. 

He is so happy to have the boot on. Not only does it give him some freedom and mobility it is making his foot feel much better. 

Oh what an adventure these boys are :)
