Just got back from the ER, son's ankle sprained.

Not broken! :party:

Now he has an air-splint and an excuse to sit on the couch all day and play video games
and be waited on. Life's a bitch, ain't it? B-)

Can't wait for the bill. :scared:

1. I feel your pain. My son broke his foot twice last year.

On crutches thumping through my house for 12 weeks. It was awful.

2. My son broke his foot when he was in kindergarten.

He did this 5 days before Christmas. We lived in Vancouver, BC where in winter it rarely snows. Well that year we had a foot of wet, slushy snow the day after he broke his foot. The hospital sent him home with NO crutches, so I had to carry him through the snow to the daycare. I only had to walk 2 blocks but carrying him, it felt like 10 blocks.

4. My daughter broke her leg when she was 20 months old.

Her brother was 1 MONTH old. So I had to carry her in a bent leg cast and a newborn.
I had a 6 year old too. It was awful.
Later, that same daughter fell off the top of the pyramid in middle school cheerleading
and broke BOTH wrists. 3 weeks with two casts.

Good times. I'm so glad they're all grown! At least I don't have to carry my son. He's 19, taller and bigger than me. :)

5. Oh, man. That must have been awful.

A newborn and a 20 month old is bad enough without one of them being in a cast. :rofl:

(My eldest are 18 months apart as well)

6. No shit, I was in a bathrobe for 1 year or two.

Two in diapers, two carseats, double stroller, minivan.

The thought of it all now makes me cringe! :o How did I do it?

They were really cool though. Still are.

My son's buddy is already over. My husband's setting up the X-box and the DVD player. The food requests are coming in. Sigh.
Kinda like old times. ;-)

3. Ouch.

At least we didn't end up with a cast! Those are SUCH a pain.
