Wrider Wrider Wrider


Well, as if 2 surgeries before the age of 18 months is not enough...Wrider has a broken leg!
He fell off my bed on Monday morning and I knew he was not ok, but there was not any specific injury manifesting itself. We went to the Dr. who poked and prodded and Wrider did not seem to mind. The Dr. said if anything still bothers him in a couple of days come back. Well the next morning I was changing his diaper and when I grabbed his ankles to lift him he really let out a cry and for the rest of the day he favored his left lower leg. Nate really did not think it was broken, but if I really did I should take him to the Dr. So this morning I took him across the street to our neighbor and friend who is a podiatrist. He examined his leg and when he got to the lower inside of his leg he started to cry. So off to get an x-ray and wouldn't you know it...broken. Dr. Smith (our neighbor and friend) casted it at his office this afternoon and apparently they only had 2 inch pink casting tape....not sure if that is true or if he was just trying to get Nate's goat!
So on to the newest adventure with our little Wrider.

You can't help but smile when you look at that picture of him, he looks thrilled with life, in spite of a pink cast and broken leg. He is the cutest kid!

okay seriously he is so hilarious and that pink cast mad us laugh! What a good sport to have such a big smile despite the trauma! Guess walking is on hold for awhile, maybe he'll slow down on his super crawl too!
