Jackson's Broken Leg

Last Tuesday night, 2 days before we went to Fish Lake, Jackson and Morgan were playing downstairs and Jackson fell down the last 2 steps and broke his leg. We were pretty sure it was broken because usually when Jackson gets hurt, he just gets up and walks it off. This time he wouldn't move it though. The doctor couldn't see us until Friday morning but we were going to be gone, but thanks to Nurse Grandma Karen, we were able to get to the doctor Thursday morning before we left. Ironically, we went to Dr. Jackson, and the assistant that put the cast on Jackson was named Brian. Jackson wanted a blue cast, which didn't surprise us, and will get to wear it for 6 weeks!!! How exciting huh! He broke it in 2 places (the tibia, and phibula... I am not a doctor, so if I've spelled or pronounce these wrong...ooops) jHe has a nice spiral fracture on the front bone tibia I think, that crossed over to the back bone (phibula... I may have got them mixed...oops again) He is actually doing really well with the cast though, and is able to get around well too.
He is such a cute little kid, and when I told him we would take it off , he said he didn't want to take it off. I think he can feel that it's protecting his leg, and he isn't in pain any more. Poor little guy. I told him we would take it off after Grandma Smith's birthday which is in September. He said "no, after Grandma Karen's birthday" (which isn't until February) I told him we weren't going to leave it on for that long. I want him walking as soon as he can. :) What a sweet little kid... and the blue fits perfectly!
