The Ankle Bone’s Connected To The… Well, Hopefully.
Blue is a tough kid. One time he shoved a vacuum extension down his throat, and bruised both sides of his throat. He still asked for a popsicle and just sucked on it and spit it out so he didn’t have to swallow. He’s usually never hurt, and has the reflexes of a drunken cat. You know, quick and agile but rubbery enough to bounce off stuff.
Well, yesterday Blue decided to jump off the coffee table over his baby brother and land on his oversized bean bag. What he didn’t count on was Cooper standing up and sticking his head in the way of Blue’s passing feet. Blue feet caught on Cooper’s head knocking Blue off balance and sending him landing right onto his right ankle. A loud pop, some screaming and crawling away, then some ice and calming down followed, but because of Blue’s tough history we are having a hard time telling just how bad it is.
This morning Blue still can’t walk. The swelling is minimal, but he’s not the type to not walk, so we are taking the next step. The emergency room. I will keep you updated and hopefully get some cool pictures.
Aw, I hope Blue didn’t break his ankle.
But hey, Blue is most definitely hardcore (:
Hope he is ok. Poor guy.
Poor little guy! We are praying for him. What a bummer!
ouch, the loud pop doesnt sound good. probably a good idea to check it out.
Crazzy kids, always jumping on each others heads.
Even you talking about hearing a pop made me hurt! Hope Blue is OK!!
Hope the little man is alright. Sounds like a fracture.
I think you need to get some videos of the capers though. They sound like they would be incredibly fun to watch.
That hurts all the way to California..
Love you, Blue….Mammo
Oh dear. I concur that it may only be a fracture or an inflammation due to bruise since it swelled and his body is working fulltime to fight the adverse event. All technicality aside, I pray and believe he will be all right as soon as the pain goes away.
Kids and their fun (!!) definitely much preferred than them getting sick…Hang in there Brody & Kristin for Blue will be back on his two feet, hopefully not jumping over Cooper’s head, before you know it.
