I am going to make this quick because the boys are asleep and I am so ready to go to sleep since lastnight was a long night. We saw the ortho this morning at 10. Initially he wasn't going to cast him because he said he needed time for swelling to go down and we would leave the splint on since it was already in place. He noticed Jason was tugging on it a lot so he said we could go ahead and check it out. No swelling or bruising so they put the hard cast on. It a full cast on his right leg (light blue). Jason laid on the table like a champ and when they were done he just looked at it and smiled and pointed to his other leg trying to tell us he wanted one on there too. Ha...stinker!
Dr. said he would not need plates or surgery and that it's a fracture to the tibia below the knee. He said it looks like the bones just gave when he landed. Dr. was shocked that he didn't actually hit anything when he fell and that he was on the mat part of the trampoline. He said there is no reason not to let him on the trampoline once recovered as long as the pads are in place and that it has a cage. He said usually it's pretty safe but accidents do happen and this was one of those times. So for all you trampoline haters out there chill out :)
He will leave the cast on for 4 weeks. Dr. said in a few days he will probably start to apply pressure and begin walking with the cast on. I'll update more later. As for the birthday party next week I think I am going to hold off and we will wait till he's all better. I'll be emailing from pingg the changes. Off to bed I go!!!
