before we left for the doctors today!
last night, he fell asleep here on the couch!
the new Jared =)
Yes, I wonder if this is the beginning of my "boy" injuries =) ha ha!! You ask...how did it happen? Let me just first say "COMPETITIVE BROTHERS" let me tell ya! Jared and Jordan were racing (Jared was ahead of Jordan!) and Jared tripped {or was pushed from behind} as I had, of course, turned my back to play with Jaden.....and then I hear Jared screaming out in the grass. They told me what happened, but since 6pm Monday night, he hasn't walked on his foot and has been in a lot of pain. He was up in the middle of the night too, so that's when I knew I needed to take him in. We went to an Immediate Care to get X-rays. They didn't see any break or fracture but wanted me to see an orthopedic pediatrician and/or my regular pediatrician b/c they think it's his growth plate. I took him to my pediatrician to get referred, but she just put the cast on herself{2 weeks} and gave me some homeopathic things to give Jared. He's not in a lot of pain anymore so that's a praise!! Guess we'll just wait and see what the next 2 weeks bring! He took a bath tonight {the cast is waterproof} and he always yells out whenever it itches {which we can't do anything about (poor guy--can't imagine)--doctor said don't stick anything down in it} so please just pray he starts walking on it, the cast is hard enough so we are just waiting to see when he'll walk, instead of crawl =) It still hurts and he's scared to I think. I hope in a few days he'll have more confidence of this cast he's wearing!!!

Poor baby, I am praying for the "no itching"!! I am glad he is not much pain now. He will get bored soon enough and be walking around or hopping!!
poor fella...
when rylie broke her arm they couldnt find a fracture on the xray either. Our doc at the time was an orthepdeic specialist and said that was normal for kids because thier bones were still growing. He said you can usually tell by the painand the way they act. ITs better to be safe.
