Poor Orin. He fell off of the trampoline yesterday and seemed just fine until this morning. He started to limp and as the day went on he wouldn't put any weight on his leg at all. So we went and spent 6 hours at Primary Children's Hospital. They think he has what is called a toddler fracture. It's where the bone is so flexible that it doesn't break in two and the bone surface isn't fractured enough to be obvious on xray. Like when you bend a green stick a few of the fibers on the side break but when you straighten the stick it looks okay, it's the same with the bone. So they put a splint on his leg that is from his foot to his thigh. He can't walk on it or crawl or do anything. He is supposed to rest with his leg elevated. Then he's supposed to see an orthopedic doctor on Wednesday. I hope I can keep him occupied until then.

Poor little guy!! Lincoln growled when I told him that he did it on a trampoline. Hope it heals quickly! I think I would go berserk if I had to entertain one of the boys for 3 days like that!!
I think I am going berserk. On top of trying to keep him off of his leg the baby fell and hit his chin this morning and he cut the bottom of his tongue. So every time I try to feed him it starts bleeding again and he screams and screams. Needless to say, today was not my best day!
Dani, Tell Lincoln that I can't stand trampolines and if it were up to me it would NOT be here!
oh and tell him Hi to...
