Poor Patrick!

Just as the little guy was about to walk... this happens! The poor little guy broke his leg! On Saturday, I slipped down our front steps and fell while carrying him on my hip. His little leg took the brunt of the fall against the steps and he broke the tibia in his left leg. We went to the ER and they placed him in a hard splint until we get the real cast on tomorrow. I was heartbroken at the thought of him being frustrated getting around, but he does not even seem to notice! He crawls around and can even pull himself to stand! Quite a strong little guy! We even discovered a way to hold him at the pool so he can still enjoy himself!
I ran into a woman at the grocery store last night and she said that her daughter broke her leg the same way at 14 months and was only in the cast for 3 1/2 weeks, having broken two bones in her leg! They heal much faster than us!
So far, it has not been as bad as I anticipated! I am just so glad that Patrick can still get around and is not getting frustrated with his altered mobility! It seems to bother us more than it does him!
