Deja vu or This is not a joke


This morning, van slipped on the floor at dance class and broke his tibia.
The good news: no spica cast
The bad news: no weight on his broken tibia for 6 weeks.

In other words, by the time he gets this one off, he will have spent 1/4 of his third year of life in a cast. Not awesome.

oh my gosh! my jaw literally just dropped! poor Van. I hope he is feeling ok and that this trend ends for him soon.

Holy cow kid. He has such a cute little smile on his face in that last picture. Although after another break like that maybe it's just the morphine.

Poor kid! So not fun.

So hard with babies. I guess you are back to being homebound for awhile. Hope he is feeling good. What dance class is he taking?

MARTHA said...

Unbelievable! I don't know what to say except, "Get well Van!"

I guessed by your title that that poor boy would be in a cast again!! Hope the next 6 weeks goes quickly!

Melanie said...

Bless his heart! That's awful! Is this the same bone? I thought kids were supposed to be made out of rubber! Get well, little man!

Bummer! At least it is still cold ouside and he'll have it off before the summer!

Ouch. For you and him both. Maybe it's time to consider an upper-body only sport.

You are kidding me! I mean, I know the title includes the phrase "this is not a joke" but come on! So sorry to hear. He will be getting it off right about the time we are out there visiting. Hopefully we will be able to see him run around and be crazy. Maybe no more craziness for him for a little while though.

Aimee,
It's the morphine.

Don't you see what's happening? The Universe wants him to be the next Robocop!

When you go to the hospital, just ask them about "the Robocop program". They will definitely know what you're talking about.

Such a beautiful, good natured little guy! Heard about it first on FB. Couldn't believe it. As Gordon said, it's a good thing there are always witnesses to these things. He's a champ. As is his ma & pa. Drink more milk:D
