We had our appointment with the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon today and got some very nice news. Tyler only has to be in his cast for 3 weeks. He may limp for a while after it is removed or even not use the leg for a bit but they are confident he will do just fine - as are we. He also got a new cast today. He had a bent-knee cast before and today our doctor recommended putting a straight-leg cast on so he could try and walk. I was so excited because I had noticed all the fancy color options on Friday but never asked if we could have them and therefore got the default: white. Today we chose green :) We saved the old one - it's adorable :)
The break may be difficult to see, to the untrained eye :), but it is a diagonal line, heading down to the right on the larger bone in the leg, the tibia. It is what is known as a Greenstick fracture or Toddler fracture. Google it.
