Oops!

I guess I should feel lucky that we've made it this long!!

It happened last Friday night, but we thought it was just a sprain. He hasn't been in very much pain (thankfully), so we didn't really think much about it. Besides the fact that sometimes it seemed to hurt worse than other times. For instance, when it was time to fold clothes, the pain was so unbearable that even a washcloth caused much wincing. However, when Parker invited him to play football outside, suddenly, all discomfort seemed to vanish. Strangest thing!!

Then, Sunday afternoon, I noticed one handed video game playing when no one was around for the "show," and I began to think that maybe we had something more serious.

So, Monday morning, we paid a little visit to the Orthopedist, and he found a fracture. It's on the middle tarsal going from the base of the middle finger to the wrist. Oh, MAN!

We have a lovely cast (as you can see) and will continue to sport it for three weeks.

Then, we will not be released to play sports for at least 6 more weeks after that. Well, there goes the football season! Needless to say, we are EXTREMELY dissappointed. I think Dad's taking it hardest of all---pray that he will be all right!

I still isn't hurting very much, but writing has become somewhat difficult. As of now, the bone is aligned very well, so no surgery. It will be x-rayed again next week and hopefully will still be aligned.

As far as exactly how this injury came to be.....you'll have to ask Uncle Jon and Aunt Tachia about that one!!
