INJURED

Its happened, we had our first injury with Daniel. On Friday afternoon I was going about my day, and as always Daniel loves to follow me around, and sometimes not knowing it I turn around and he's right there under my feet, but this time we were both caught off guard, Daniel was walking around like usual with all of his toys in his hands (I swear this kid needs 5 hands to carry everything around) but as I turned around I didn't notice he was right there and I don't know how it happened, but he just fell right over, but usually if this ever happens he gets right back up, but this time he just started to cry, and with him not talking I wasn't sure what exactly was wrong, was it his arm, his wrist, his leg, or his foot, so after going through every body part and trying to figure it out, we figured out it was his foot, but to me the fall didn't seem so bad, I just thought it maybe scared him, so after holding him and getting him to calm down I thought he would be okay, well that wasn't the case, and when your 3 year old just sits on the couch and watches an entire movie and doesn't budge you know something is up, so after a couple hours I tried to get him to walk on it, and he refused, he would just cry every time I stood him up, so thats when I decided we better be safe and take him in, by then the dr's office was closed, so we took him to the ER, after waiting forever and having some x-rays, we were relieved to hear it wasn't broken, he just sprained or twisted it. PHEW....what a relief, I was a little worrie because this was the foot he had surgery on earlier in the ear, and that foot is already weak. So we were sent home and told to keep him off it, and here I am thinking how on earth do you keep a 3 year old off there feet, well I guess he listened because the rest of the night he just lounged and cuddled with me, today he still wouldn't walk on it, he was crawling around with the injured foot in the air and his other leg dragging behind, but as the day went on, he seemed to be doing a little better, he would walk every once in awhile, but he was limping quite a bit, and you could tell he was still in quite a bit of pain. I'm just glad it wasn't anything serious, this was bad enough for me, I seriously just hate seeing my kids in pain, especially when I know I can't do anything about it. So for now we are spending the weekened in and trying to get this little guy better and walking!I was trying so hard to get a smile out of him, but he just wouldn't budge

finally, I got a half smile!
