Say a Little Prayer

All bandaged up
Don't worry Mom, I have one more!

Keep us in your prayers. Banastre broke his right leg in two places last night. We have an appointment with an orthopeadic surgeon Thursday morning.

Now that Banastre is in bed, I have a few minutes to fill you all in. First, thank you for your prayers. Now, to how it happened. Last night before bed, Elizabeth, Banastre, and I were playing in the family room floor. Banastre thought it would be fun to try to stand on Mommy's back. As I was telling him to get down, he slipped and fell. We heard a pop. He immediately started crying, but after a few mintues he calmed down. Matt and I were both worried but there was no swelling or bruising. Talked to Matt's uncle who is an ER doc and told him everything. By this point, Banastre was falling asleep. Matt's uncle told us to stay at home for the night if Banastre could sleep, rather than keep him up all night in an ER. When Banastre awoke this morning he was still saying "Ouch" and grabbing his leg. We decided to take him to Urgent Care and have it checked out. The first Urgent Care we went to had no doctor on duty today, so we drove to their "sister" site. After an x-ray, it was confirmed that our poor baby's leg is broken. The doctor stabilized the leg with a splint and we will be seeing the orthopeadic doc first thing Thursday morning. Pray that all goes well and all Banastre will need is a cast and nothing more serious.

He actually did really good today. He didn't complain too much about being stuck on the couch or in one place. We took him outside this afternoon and sat on the lanai for some fresh air. He had a great appetite tonight and ate two and a half bowls of "sghetti" and a bowl of "pea balls" (green peas). I hope tomorrow will be just as good for him!
