When Declan woke up Tuesday morning he was limping. His doctor thought that he might have pulled a muscle but on Thursday the limp was worse and Declan had resorted to crawling at daycare. The doctor sent us for a bunch of x-rays and blood work and a few hours later called to let us know that Declan had fractured two little bones in his left foot. Apparently this is common in toddlers so they call it a toddler fracture. We were referred to Cincinnati Children's hospital on Friday and left with a blue cast. Declan has already figured out how to walk in the cast and is even back to wrestling with his Pottery Barn chair. He hasn't let the fracture slow him down! They started us out with a cast that ends below his knee but if he wiggles out of it (they say it happens) then he'll have to have one that goes above the knee. Here are some pictures of his cast....
