For those who do not know, last Saturday night Cameron went out the back door and fell down one step and twisted his ankle. We told him to rest and put some ice on it so the swelling would go down. By Sunday his ankle was not any better so we were advised by Memaw to take him to the Urgent Care Center to have it x-rayed. They took a look at it and did the x-rays and told us it was a small fracture. He was sent home in a 3 sided hard splint and we were told he would get a cast when he went to the doctor. He was looking at 6-8 weeks in a cast.
Monday and Tuesday he went to school with his crutches, which he loved. He also loved all of the attention that he was getting. Mrs. Foreman found a wheelchair and Cameron used that for when they left the classroom. All of his classmates wanted their turn at pushing Cameron around in the wheelchair.
Tuesday after school was Cameron's Doctor appt. with the orthopedic specialist. Cameron was all excited about his new cast and he already decided that he wanted red and all his friends were going to sign it and everything. Well, it turns out that the Doctor didn't think his ankle needed all that so he gave Cameron a plastic air cast that he has to wear for two weeks and then we go back for another x-ray to see if he is all healed. What a blessing that he only has to wear a cast for two weeks. It's getting so nice outside that he was just starting to get outside to play.
I'll let you know the outcome in a couple of weeks.
