Wade's Robot Leg

The other night when Wade and Wes were jumping on their trampoline in the back yard, Wade got hurt. It was unclear how it happened, everyone had their version of the story, but when the crying was over he wouldn't walk, he would only crawl around. He really didn't cry that much but did wake up after going to sleep and it was obvious that he was uncomfortable. Instead of taking him to the ER, they gave him some Ibuprofen and he went back to sleep. In the morning though, he still wouldn't walk, so they took him in for an x-ray. It was very hard to diagnose so they went to a orthopedist and togehter he and Steve decided to err on the side of caution and put him in a removable cast for a few weeks to stabalize it. So now they have him in a walking shoe. It's really tiny as you would expect since he's only 2 but who knew they made them so small. Even his podiatrist dad, had never seen one so small.

I get to spend some more one on one time with him today so I took some pictures. When I first heard it is removable I thought, "Oh great who's going to have to fight with him to keep that thing on, he won't even keep shoes on?" He is so cute with his new "Robot Leg" That's what they told him and for now it's working and he's cooperating and keeping it on.

So tiny

and cute!
