Broken bones stink

Well James has broken his first bones. Sunday night after we had gotten ready for bed James was climbing up to his bed on the top bunk. Usually I'm standing behind him but I was putting Zoey to bed and I guess he thought he could do it.Well he lost his footing and fell and landed on his right leg wrong. I knew immediately he broke something. I took him to the ER and we had some X-rays done of his foot and leg. Sure enough he broke both his Tibia and Fibula up close to the knee. They put him in a splint and sent us home. They won't have to reset it thank goodness! He goes in to see the Orthopedic surgeon on Friday and will probably get his cast. I was so excited that this year he wouldn't have to be in a stroller for Halloween, well I'm wrong. Looks like I'll be pushing him around again. Oh well! He isn't in too much pain but he's scared to move at all. He mostly hangs out on the couch either watching movies or playing iPad. He will probably be in a cast for 3-6 weeks. Physical therapy has been delayed till his cast comes off.  His physical therapist said "well that's what happens when we teach him new things." She's been teaching him to climb the rock wall. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery and is back to his normal self.
