Last Wed. as I was trying to fix my Christmas lights outside Burkley had an accident and broke his leg! Being that he is such a touch kid I knew something was really wrong after 30 mins of him still saying it hurt. So off to the urgent care we went w/ Marshall in tow. Both bones were broken (or bowed, which means bent but they still consider it a fracture) and a temp. splint was put on him. The next day a fiberglass cast was put on that stopped just under his knee. That afternoon I took Marshall to his 6 month appt. and returned to find Burkley missing some toes or at least that's what it looked like. He pulled his foot up into the cast and eventually it came off completely! The Dr.'s office was already closed so for the whole weekend he crawled around w/ nothing on it - thank goodness for Motrin! Now he has a lovely cast all the way up to his thigh and he isn't really loving it. Thank goodness his follow up is only 3 1/2 wks away. It's both kind of sad and funny to watch him crawl around and drag his leg behind him because it doesn't bend. My poor boy!

Love the new cast Berk! I want to sign it... :)
Burkley's old enough you probably didn't get any dirty looks for him having a broken leg. Calvin had a broken leg at 9 months. I was holding him and fell down the stairs. Then did the same thing to Dana when she was 14 months old. We will never have stairs again. You get a lot of dirty looks when you have a baby in a cast!
