Look What Happened

Frank was inspired to take a random day-off from work today because I don't think I could have handled this situation alone.
Earlier today Frank was sitting on our computer chair and Gavin was standing on it behind him and he decided to get off by climbing off the side. As his body fell forward his leg stayed pinned against the armrest somehow and he was left dangling. Frank remembers hearing a pop and Gavin started screaming. Luckily, I did not see it because I don't think I could have got that visual out of my head. Anyway, Gavin stopped crying and we asked him to walk on it. Nope, he immediately collapsed and started wimpering. By the time we got to the doctor Gavin was more freaked out about x-rays then anything else. We saw the pediatrician, who luckily is the only fracture specialist in the office, who knew? Well, he was pretty sure it was a toddler fracture and sent us to the hospital for x-rays. The x-rays came out clean, and although by this time Gavin was crawling on the floor playing with toys and walking around, there is still a spot under his knee that is tender to the touch and makes him wince. Because the x-rays possibly looked fine, if the technician didn't mess up or if Gavin didn't move while the picture was being taken, the Doc wanted a second opinion from the Radiologist. So for the time being Gavin is in a semi-cast, hard on the bottom soft on top. It's almost impossible for him not to move it around. I thought this would tame him for the day- and it has a little, but it's more trouble to carry him up the stairs and to the bathroom and anywhere we have to go. We will find out tomorrow if it's really fractured or not. Until then, he gets a little more hugs and attention.
