Noah’s Broken Toe

     Friday night, just before bed, Noah was hungry as usual.  Mom called downstairs to tell him that his sandwiches were ready.  As he rushed toward the stairs, he tripped and somehow his big toe curled-under and he landed with much of his weight on that still, curled-under toe. He lay on noah at erthe floor for a bit nursing his toe and indicated to Mom that he had "really" hurt it.  The toe began swelling right away.  With foot elevated, and a dose of Tylenol PM he got some rest.  He awoke through the night because of pain and to take more meds. 
Saturday afternoon, Mom decided that it may be best to get his foot x-rayed. 
     At the ER, they confirmed a break near the joint of where his toe meets his foot.  They put on a temporary cast and want him to see an orthopedic on Monday to have it replaced with a "real" cast.

Oh, no! So, I guess January has been the month of crutches at your house? Hope the rest of you stay off crutches. Stay warm(and safe) on these freezing days/nights!
