broken bones???

Looks like Josh found one way to get out of going to hockey practice. He and Dima had a few minutes after school, homework and dinner before we had to leave to get him to the rink so they were playing football outside, the two of them tumbled over each other and Josh really started crying, usually he recovers pretty quickly to get back to playing so when he didn't get up and kept crying I had a feeling it wasn't good. I found out later on that he also heard a crunch sound when Dima was - accidentally - stepping on his moving foot. So after a visit to the MedCenter100 we've got a prescription to have it x-rayed tomorrow and it looks like he's going to end up in a cast - apparently his forth and fifth metatarsals on his right foot seem to be broken. So for now it's wrapped, we're carrying him around and he's taking ibuprofen and keeping it elevated while sitting around moaning once in a while. At least he's stopped the hysterics he was in when Chris and I decided he had to have it looked at. Then he was so worked up that he almost threw up. Even on the drive there he was out of breath and then I noticed he was crying more when the car accelerated... the doc said that fractures can be sensitive to movement. So tomorrow we'll get him set with his cast and crutches: hopefully he won't get too bored sitting out the physical stuff over the next few weeks.
