Kenyon's Foot

Last week the kids had some friends over. They were jumping off of this slide like they often do.

Kenyon landed on his foot weird. He cried for a minute, but was then back up playing. We noticed that he limped on it a little, but it never was bruised or swollen so we thought we would just watch it.

A week later, he seemed to be limping even more, but never complained of it hurting. We finally decided to take him to the Children's Urgent Care last night. Let me start off by saying the dr was a total jerk. He came in and before saying, "Hello" or "How are you," he said, "I don't know why you came to Urgent Care a week later. I don't know what you expect me to do. You should have went to your pediatrician." I informed him that I called my pediatrician and since they don't do x-rays, I came here for an x-ray. He went on to say that jumping from 3 feet on a foot that is mostly cartilage and few bones would most likely not break anything. Okay, well we still wanted an x-ray.

After the x-ray came back, he said it showed a line on a bone. He couldn't tell if it was a fracture or a growth line so he referred us to an orthopedic dr and sent him home in a splint. For now, we don't know if it is a break or nothing at all, but doesn't he look cute?!

Appointment with Ortho Doc on Monday so for now we just wait!
