Ouch!
So, Isaac decided to break Caleb's record and get a cast at 12 months of age instead of 15 months like Caleb. And yes, this broken bone involved a bed again! We were at my grandparent's cottage over the weekend and Nate was changing Isaac on a top bunk bed. Caleb ran into the room and yelled, "Daddy!" Nate turned to look, and Isaac rolled off the bed. He cried for about 15 minutes and wouldn't walk, so we took him to the local ER. They took x-rays and couldn't find anything. This past week he has been walking, but noticeably favoring his left leg. I took him to an orthopedic Dr. today and they determined he broke his tibia right by his ankle! He will be wearing a cast for 3 weeks. At that point they will take the cast off, get more x-rays and see if it's healing. Isaac is very frustrated today and just sits on the floor and cries, hitting the cast. The Dr. said in the next couple days he'll figure out how to walk on it. As you can see in the last picture, he is starting to take some steps.
We're glad Isaac doesn't have anything seriously wrong with his leg, but we'd appreciate your prayers over the next couple weeks!

Welcome to the life of boys. Breaking something is pretty typical. I'm glad it wasn't more serious though. Dad remembers his famous last words to Nate. "Don't juuuuuuump!"
I'm sorry that happened. . .but. . .okay he looks so flipping cute in that cast. ..those cute little piggies sticking out. Ohhhhh!
Big happenings in the Demaster house. Whew! School, broken leg... Hang in there. Poor little guy. Sounds so sad, sitting there hitting his cast. Show him how he can use it to really whack Caleb! LOL--I'm sure he'd like it better then! :0) Hard to believe you have a kid in school already. We haven't talked about it yet, but I sometimes think of sending Nathan to 3 yr old preschool next year for a day or two.
I'm a little behind on my blog checking, so I just saw this post. Poor little guy! I'm glad he's starting to get around on it; I imagine it is frustrating for him since he doesn't understand. Prayers for quick healing!
