Carter boy keeps us on our toes. Last Fri, 9/5 he had a fall at jump street. After seeking advice from a pedi friend, we went for X-rays. Unfortunately, the on call dr missed the fracture on X-ray and assumed it was nursemaid elbow, so she attempted to "pop" the elbow back in place 3 times. Sweet boy was not in much pain until these maneuvers. The radiologist called the next day and said it was a fracture. Boo. Left distal tibia. So...ortho on Monday and arm was too swollen for cast so he is styling the soft cast to the elbow for 2 weeks. He is such a trooper, really doesn't complain and loves to tell everyone about what happened....whether asked or not. Have I ever mentioned he loves attention and chatting it up with anyone who will talk to him? Love him and just glad this happened now...should be all healed by the time baby bro arrives!
