Flourescent Orange Cast

We had to take Elijah to Children's Hospital today. He went in looking pretty normal, but he came out with a cast on his leg. A bright flourescent orange one. He got to pick the color.

Last night Elijah and Cris were wrestling in normal father-son manner. Elijah was on Cris' back and proceded to slide down and land on his feet. He did just that. He landed on his feet. Hard. It was hard enough to give him a spiral fracture, which apparently 3 year olds are very prone to.

I feel very sad right now. Not because my little boy has a cast on his leg and is basically immobile and very whiney, but because while we were at the hospital there was a code blue in the emergency room - the children's hospital emergency room. That just shouldn't happen...

Oh! No! Poor Elijah. We are so sorry. Hopefully, in a few days he will feel better. How long does the cast have to be on?
