Ouchy

So Friday, September 26th (the day before his 1st birthday),
little RB fell off his big sister's bed.
I was in the room when it occurred
I just thought since she had bed rails he was fine on the bed...
well, the bed rail wasn't pushed up enough to the headboard.
Sad. I should have been watching more carefully.
I took him to see the doc.
(which is such an amazing doc. I am so thankful for him)
We did some x-rays... and when I say we...
I was also x-rayed only because I was holding his little bitty arm down.
It showed that he had a buckle fracture.
You may be wondering what is a buckle fracture?!?
Well, a torus fracture, or buckle fracture,
is when one side of the bone buckles upon itself without disrupting the other side;
this is also know as an incomplete fracture.
He has no cast, just an ace bandage for two weeks.
We will have another x-ray next week.
Please pray for complete healing and no pain.
Since he hurt it we have been called out of church to get him,
and I had to get him early from Mother's Day Out because he was fussy.
I think it aches. I hate that. :(

It's hard to believe he could be in such pain with him always smiling. He's a trooper and ALL boy!!! He is starting to look like you did when you were small.
