Bryson was helping his brother take down our holiday light and was balancing the ladder. When they were done, the older boys hit the side buttons and didn't warn Bryson to catch the center rung and it came down with tremendous force right onto his foot. Bryson said it hurt but the foot didn't swell or bruise. We wrapped it up and after two days, he count' put any weight on it so we decided we better go in. Didn't I feel like "World's Greatest Mom" to find out that his foo is broken in 2 places and one of the breaks severed his foot bone from the foot itself. They put him in a walking cast and loaded him up with crutches and pain pills and sent us on our way.
A few days later, he saw Dr. Newswander and sure enough... broken and broken good. The treatment plan: 3 days pain meds, 3 week no walking without crutches, and 3 months in the boot. No surgery needed at this point but they are watching it.
Bryson is a trooper for sure and I am super proud of him and the way he has handed the setback. Not a fun way to start the summer.
