Uh-Oh

Uh-Oh is what Logan says when he gets hurt and he certainly got hurt. Tuesday night Logan was playing in the kitchen while I was cleaning up dinner. He wanted to play in the drawer where we keep the knives. I told him "no, no." This set off my sweet boy. He became very angry at mommy and decided to throw himself down on the ground to show me how mad he was. Well on his way down, he kicked the door jam with the top of his foot. He cried a lot. Even with comforting he was crying. I thought he was tired so I took him to bed and was laying with him as he was calming down. However he wanted his sock off, and he kept saying "uh, oh." He then starting pulling at and pointing to his foot and he was screaming in pain. Brian came in and we tried to have him stand on his foot, and he would not put any weight on his hurt foot. We really knew that something was wrong. After talking with both sets of parents we decided to wait until morning to take Logan to the pediatrican rather than heading to the ER late at night. It was not a good night for any of us. In the morning Logan was even worse off. I was able to get an early pediatrican appt and my mom met me there to help. The doctor wanted him to have an x-ray, an appt we already had for later that afternoon with Dr. Cullen (an orthopedic doctor, friend of the family). Logan ended up having a small break in the bone leading up to his big toe. He could have gone without a cast, but the doctor felt that he would be more comfortable and heal faster in a cast. Our sweet little boy has a little green cast from his toes to his knee. It is a sad sight. At first Logan was crawling everywhere, then he figured out how to walk with a cast and now he is running with a cast! We are hoping we can get it off sooner than later, he is still very uncomfortable. This is going to be a fun Christmas for him - he loves to open presents and always says "WOW." We want him to be a happy boy on Christmas morning, so we will see what the doctor says on Monday.
