Josh broke his leg!

Josh was at a summer day camp on Tuesday and was on this platform teeter/totter thing. He got pushed off and the board fell on his leg. It broke his tibia.

We went straight to the pediatrician who was able to x-ray it. Unfortunately, they couldn't cast it. They put a brace on it and sent us home w/ pain medicine. I really wish we had gone straight on to the ER instead.

Around 9:00 that night, Josh was in extreme pain - screaming out in a major way. We finally took him to the ER and they put a half cast on it (the cast is up the back of his leg and wrapped in the front). It's up to his thigh.

He'll be in this for 2 weeks and then have a regular cast put on then. For now, we have to carry him everywhere he goes. :(
