The Cast

This evening as Jeremy & I were preparing dinner, Ella Grace and Major were nearby in the kitchen playing an innocent game of ring-around-the-rosie. Just a moment later Major was laying on the floor crying. Sometimes it is difficult to tell his whine and his laugh apart. He had been out of school sick today, too, and taken a nap before lunch rather than after, so many things could have contributed to this cry. Jeremy saw that he was hurt, at which point I picked him up. As I moved him around and tried to make him stand we realized he refused to put weight on his left leg.

I tried to hold him for a bit and eat dinner, to determine if it was just sore. Unfortunately, little Major continued to be in pain so I took him to MedCenter. After several X-Rays the doctor saw two small fractures in his left thigh. Two nurses put a temporary cast on his leg from his hip down for tonight. Major will be going to see an ortho tomorrow to determine the next course of action.

Ella Grace later told Daddy that she did fall on him, but said she fell on his ankle.

Please keep our precious little guy in your prayers!
