gimpy

Late Saturday afternoon Spencer came upstairs screaming. He was inconsoulable. I finally held him and rocked him to sleep. When he awoke 2 hours later the screaming continued. He was complaining of pain in his left foot and he could not walk. We either carried him or he crawled.

This continued all weekend.

Monday morning the status had not changed. He definitely wasn't "just looking for attention" or "fakin' it." The rest of us had dentist appointment so we added a Dr. visit to his morning too. They took x-rays to make sure it wasn't broken. It wasn't. He sprained his toe.

By Thursday we convinced him to start putting some weight on it. I'm not sure if he'll walk right on it. He's gimping around.

{We found out later that the injury was caused by jumping off the dresser in the play room. Spencer is learning that he cannot fly. What a rude awakening!}

Meanwhile in the same week Rooster's face made contact with a weighted hula hoop that was in full motion. I was at a meeting when it happened. I was shocked to see her face. It left a good mark and bruising.


This is the tail end of the healing and brusing.

Austin also had a collison at school. During P.E. he bonked heads with Emersyn. He came away with a bloody nose that later swelled up and bruised nicely. Emersyn had a nice cut. What a bunch of hard heads.



Hopefully we can get these gimpy kids healed up!
