So, I took Owen to the doctor - Urgent Care - and the doctor took some x-rays and really could not tell if Owen's foot is okay or not. Her feeling was that Owen has broken the first metatarsal bone in his foot and is sending us to see the orthopedic doctor tomorrow for a more expert opinion.

So, in the meantime, I am trying to keep Owen as happy and still as possible. It is really hard keep a four year old boy still! He has a temporary spilt/cast on his foot right now and so I have restorted to letting him crawl around on the floor and play with his trucks.

Here is our cute little foot all wrapped up. I feel REALLY guilty now for letting him play outside and run around the house while we were waiting to be able to go to the doctor. I honestly thought that if was that bad it would hurt and he wouldn't want to play. Boy was I wrong about that!!

So, this afternoon, we are going to watch The Great Pumpkin and make some popcorn.

Popcorn and a movie is the best prescription!! And I agree with you. If he can run around on it then it can't be THAT bad. Even if it is broken it's probably only a hairline fracture and no big deal.

(Did that help)

Yes, it did. Thank you Jen. I feel horrible for not stopping him from jumping sooner but there isn't anything I can do about it now.

You are right - it can't be THAT bad and could have been a whole lot worse!

Poor sweetie! You and Owen that is!! I am sure he will be just fine. Kyle was up on his skateboard 'just around the garage, mom' not 2 days after his surgery! Don't feel guilty, Jen. Someday I'll tell you the story of Emily with pneumonia that I, an RN mind you, ignored for 3 days! It isn't as bad as it sounds....well, maybe it is. *slinks away*
