Major event happened two days ago for a parent, our child’s first bone break. Clarissa was running around on the hardwood floor and slipped and fell like she does each and every day. Except this time she fell just right to hurt her left leg. We watched it for a few hours to see if it was a sprain or a break and finally made an appointment to take her in after she continued to not want to even move for many hours. The x-rays showed an obvious break.
Currently, we have a 22 month old in a pretty purple cast that is trying to cope with an overnight change from running to being carried everywhere she goes. I think that she is living it up a little, and demanding to be carried excessively, but what else would I expect from a toddler.
