Ok so here is the whole story!
Yesterday evening I was playing with Owen letting him walk up me
and then flipping him over. We play this game all the time,
I seriously have flipped him over 100 times!
But it only takes once to fracture his heel!
So I was letting him climb and flip and on the last flip my hands slid down
his arms and that made his length longer than I was anticipating.
I knew the second my hands slipped that I had hurt him :(
He cried like I never want to hear again!
I hugged and hugged and hugged him until he calmed down which took like 10 minutes.
As soon as I put him down he started crying again and limping!
I thought I may have sprained or broke his foot. Trent and I decided to give him Mortin and see how he did with that. He did ok, he was limping but not crying. I told Trent that if he was limping in the morning I would take him to the doctor.
Sure enough my baby woke up at 5am crying that cry I never wanted to hear again so Trent gave him some milk and some more motrin and voila I got my happy little Owen back!
I told Trent I would take him to the doctor that morning. So at 9 am this morning I took him to the doctor and he agreed that his foot was either sprained or fractured and sent me to the hospital for XRAYS.
Owen was not happy about the XRAYS because I was not allowed to go back with him because I am pregnant. I could hear him from the back while I was in the waiting room with Mabel and Bryce. He was crying and saying "Mom, Mom, Mom" talk about me wanting to ball right there in the middle of the waiting room :(
So after that horrible experience we went home and before we were even out of the car the doctor called and said that Owens heel had a fracture and he would need a cast.
I called my boss and told him what was going on and that I would need to take off early to go get Owens foot casted.
For the second time today we went to the doctors office (But Owen was ok with that because they have lots of fish and Owen LOVES fish!) and picked out a blue cast.
Owen has not learned how to walk in it yet but I am sure he will figure it out. He will have to wear the cast for three weeks and then he is free!
I feel so horrible that this is all my fault but I have also learned that no one is perfect and that I LOVE Owen so much and he has already forgiven me for this.
I love this little boy so much and my heart just aches for him.

Little ones are so very tough. Don't be hard on yourself. He would have managed to fracture it somehow. It's amazing they don't have more accidents. I hope he gets better quickly! Such a cute little guy!
ReplyDeletePoor little guy!!!! I hope he feels better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteAww poor little guy! So sad :( Don't be hard on yourself. Luckily, no permanent damage done.!!
