Million Dollar Baby... Broke Again!

That's right! Tommy is back in a cast!! This time it is his left leg in the cast. He broke his foot Tuesday night at Grandma's house when he fell down the stairs!
If you look at this x-ray, on the bone above the heel, you can see a little piece sticking straight up, that is where his break is.
We took him in to the orthopaedic surgeon this morning and they put him in a cast for 4 weeks. He sat and took it all like a trooper!
Tommy got a black cast this time, he has a wedding to be at/in on the 19th, so we had to color coordinate with that! Don't worry though, we stopped on the way home to get a silver sharpie so that we can still sign his cast! So, I now carry the pen in my diaper bag, so if you want to sign it... let me know!!

Here is Tommy with his final product!

He is allowed to walk on his cast, so we got him this cute little cast shoe so that it isn't slippery for him... we don't need him falling and breaking something else!!


Poor baby! Wore out after such a hard morning!!

Tommy is doing really well right now, he is taking some motrin and tylenol for the pain, I think his cast is getting heavy on him. But he is getting used to it being on, and has started walking on it. Once he gets his balance figured out I know he will be running on it in no time!

Cami says he is lucky he didn't knock his teeth out like her! Those stairs will get you. Poor little guy.

Oh honey I love you! Your such an amazing mom, great friend. T could have gotten whatever color I was joking about the BLACK... I love though that you thought to get a silver sharpie. I never would have thought of that.

He looks so tuckered out, glad daddy was able to hold him and comfort him while you took some awesome pictures!

Wow. That poor little guy. He is always in the hospital it seems. Hope it heals quickly!
