It’s been a busy week . . . what with work, parties, sports, activities . .
and x-rays.
Our oldest son seems to like visiting the local x-ray technician. Last Sunday afternoon, he and a friend were out snowmobiling and he got thrown from his.
The details were a little mucky, but he either landed wrong on his foot, or his foot was caught on something as he flew through the air, but here’s how his ankle looked last Sunday evening:
His fourth toe is fractured, and the doctor wasn’t sure about the ankle. She was going to have a radiologist read the x-ray, but we haven’t heard anything. He goes back in tomorrow for new x-rays. In the meantime, he has an air-cast and crutches.
And, as a stroll down memory lane, his other injuries . . . in reverse order:
July 2009 – he was biking with a friend and went over the handlebars, while we were visiting in Canada. Fractured collarbone . . . an expensive visit to the ER.
December 2008 – he tripped on a mat at school, and then a group of kids walked over him on their way to class. Broke the bone on the outside of his foot. This happened on the day before we went to Russia to bring Sofia home, so we had crutches to deal with during the whole trip
August 2006 – they were playing a game at school . . . Sam fell off a log onto the asphalt and fractured his elbow. Within 2 weeks of the cast being removed we got another call from the school to take him for x-rays again – he had fallen on the adventure playground with his arm between 2 boards . . . fortunately nothing was damaged that time.
At least he’s alternating between feet and arms

PS When the doctor showed him his x-ray last week, she pointed to some lines that show that he is still growing. (He’s 191cm now – that’s 6’3½”, an inch taller than his dad.)
7 friends had something to say . . .:
Oh, Sam...hope the ankle gets better soon! And, wow...still growing!!! No wonder the bones are tending to break, what with spending all their strength on growing! ;D
Oj oj oj. Bad luck or what? :)

That ankle looks really painful. Our oldest had some injuries, but I don't think as many as your son! lol
Hope this will be his last for quite some time.
