He didn't walk on it at all for 2 days. Then he figured out that it didn't hurt if he crawled around on his hands and feet (not knees). He got around that way for the next 5 days. Juli and Randy watched Ashleigh and Preston and after expressed their concern for Preston. Sometimes I just need a little push to be proactive, and Juli's concerns came at the right time and gave me that push I needed to take Preston in for a 2nd opinion.
Yesterday-Aug 10, I was able to get an appointment with a pediatric Dr. He decided it would be best to send us over to the hospital to get more x-rays done. The lady who held preston in place for the x-ray was amazing!!! She was so kind and personable and Preston just loved her! They decided they needed an x-ray of his Right leg too to compare. 3 Radiologists took a look at it and determined that Preston has a buckle fracture. So, we went back to the dr's office to get a cast on his leg. The nice thing, is they use a different material for kids' casts so that he CAN get it wet! Yay! Preston doesn't quite understand why he can't take it off at night to sleep, but he has figured out that he can walk with it on, AND his leg doesn't hurt anymore! Woo Hoo. He has to wear the cast for 3 weeks.
Some pics I took.... This is a circumcision table. Poor poor babies!!! It's just totally barbaric! In My Opionion

I am so so happy that he is all fixed up. He is such a sweetie. I am so curious as to who took the picture with you holding him. Was it Ashleigh? Brave little boy.
Thanks for the pictures! I wondered what the cast would look like. Did you go back to the prior doc and chew him out? I hope so!! Glad he is doing better!!
Ash took one of the pictures, and the nurse took the other picture.
Yes, went to the other Dr. They are researching it, and I should hear back later this afternoon. I'll get my money back...I'll fight until I do!
