Friday evening

Friday evening as I'm cooking dinner, Omar and the kids were outside and Omar thought it would be a good idea to put Camren on the trampoline with Anthony while he mowed the lawn. Camren started to cry so Omar brought him inside to me so I comforted him. When I tried to put him down he wouldn't stand up. I just figured he wanted to cuddle some more until I tried to put him down again but wouldn't stand on his right leg. We decided to take him to the ED. Before going decided to call a friend of mine who works in the pediatrician's office who later called the pediatrician. The doctor in the ED didn't even look at Camren's leg...just ordered the xrays. He later came in and said that we could go home because there was no break. We were relieved. He told us that Camren would be back to normal in no time. The next day called that friend of mine back to update her. She then called the pediatrician and she called me. His doctor was worried because Camren was still not bearing weight on his right leg by Saturday morning. She went in to the office on Saturday just for us. She wrote an order for more xrays on Monday if he still was not bearing any weight on that leg. All weekend he didn't walk. He finally started crawling on Sunday. So Monday morning we went in for the xrays. Later that morning the pediatrician's office called and the radiologist didn't see a break. Since he was still not bearing weight on his leg she wanted us to go to an orthopaedic. We went and he looked at the xrays taken that morning and he saw a fracture in his tibia. Camren now has a cast from his toes to his thigh. He was such a trooper when getting the cast on. He was all smiles. He even has a little boot for when he's walking. It's so cute. He gets really mad because he can't move around as fast as before. He barely started to walk this evening. When he crawls he has to drag is right leg. He's so cute but oh boy has he been moody. We love him still.

So sorry to hear about Camren, but it looks like he took it pretty good. Thank goodness for double and triple checking, huh?
