Broken Leg

Yesterday little Mikey broke his leg. Kira and a friend were playing with Mikey and brought him up on the trampoline to jump with him. Well, they got jumping a little too high and when he came down, his little leg just couldn't take the impact and he got a buckle fracture on his upper tibia. Poor little guy. He was pretty miserable yesterday. He's doing a little better today as long as we keep Motrin in him. He has a soft cast on right now and I'll take him back on Monday to see the orthopedic doctor to get a real cast. The cast goes above his knee so he can't walk, crawl, or really even move right now. Carrying him is kind of hard because I can't put him on my hip like usual so I have to kind of cradle him like a baby (which still hurts a little and he doesn't really love). And, no swimming for a month! :( I've never had a broken bone or any kids with broken bones so I'm not entirely sure how fast things heal but I'm assuming he'll be much better in about a week even though he has to wear the cast for a month?
