First ER Visit

Stephen Laughing At Emergency Room
Stephen's New Cast
Broken ankle (fibula) and big toe bone growth plate. Stephen was playing and jumping when he suddenly started crying. We took him to the ER and they confirmed that he broke his foot in two places, although not too seriously. We'll have to follow up with another doctor on Monday and get a more permanent cast. He has not slowed down at all and wanted to keep walking on it even before he got is padded cast put on.

That night, Stephen started crying for the first time. He had fallen asleep in the car and got put to bed without dinner. He woke up and was crying that his foot hurt. It took us several minutes before we convinced him to eat something, but once he started, he kept going until he felt better, and then went happily to sleep.
