the cast does not phase him but where it seems to rub the top of his thigh is already red and he's had it on for 3 hours. I am going to try to file it down with a nail file (they say not to use cotton or line it with anything, lest it falls into the cast and cuts off circulation.)
Bennett's orthopedic surgeon says in 3 weeks he should be fine- might need a few days to really be confident and might walk silly for a while but he'll be fine.
It was a which showed up as a severely bowed tibia but will eventually look like a long lengthwise fracture, once the bone begins to heal.
he is being a great sport today after missing his nap and missing lunch only to be pinned to a table with his hurt leg held down for more xrays and then held down on a table while strangers wrapped his leg with scratchy fiberglass. But he is smiling and playing with his sister now so all is well. we are a lucky family.
that's mommy's little boy!
