Our appointment today went really well. JJ did such a good job and really did not cry until he saw them put on the gloves for the cast. He for sure thinks this means shots. He got over the gloves thing when he started playing with the cotton wrap and I told him it would fix his leg so he could play and walk. He locked into the play part and just kept repeating "go park."
So this doc thinks that the x-ray shows an old break healing. She believes he re injured it but what they see is the healing of the old one. He has toddler fractures which would not show up right away but do show up later when they are healing. I feel really kind of guilty that I did not end up taking him in the last time but he was walking on it some the same day and walked and climbed normally in 4 to 5 days. The doc assured me that we would be in the same position because the break would not have shown up.
I am pretty much on board with this but still a tiny bit nervous that a bone infection could be missed. The doc is pretty confident but said we will look into it more if any other symptoms turn up or he does not heal. I never thought I would be so happy to have a cast on my baby (the bone infection can be pretty serious). We did go to the "park" playground when we picked Isaac up from school and then later went to the library which he loved. He is trying to walk on his cast a little and decided he would hop so he finds it pretty funny to say "hop...hop..hop."
