Poor Baby Hayden



Well - we have our first major boo-boo. Craig and Hayden were playing upstairs on Wednesday night. Hayden got a little fussy b.c he was getting tired so Craig decided to bring him downstairs. Craig slipped and fell on about the second step from the top and he and Hayden fell all the way down the stairs. Hayden bumped his head on the wrought iron railing but Craig managed to keep him tucked in tight. He had a bump on his head so we went to the emergency room. When we got there, he was perfectly fine and the bump was going away so we left. Then yesterday morning when we got up, Hayden wouldn't put any weight on his left leg. After a full day of going to doctor's office, we found out that Hayden broke his leg. It is a small fracture where his shin bone meets his ankle. They said it is the most common injury they see at this age and in this type of situation since the parent is typically gripping this area of the leg to protect the fall. He had to be put in a cast (as you can see). He will have to wear it for 3 weeks, bless his little heart.

O NO!!! Poor baby!! Luckily it doesn't look at though the cast is slowing him down. I'm so sorry for you guys! I hope Craig is ok too! Take care and get well soon Hayden!

oh goodness!! poor thing! he seems to be fine though...how is craig?
one of my friends was playing with her son in the floor and her knee accidently came down on his arm and broke it. stuff like this happens all the time! heck, Cailynn fell off the bed and knocked out her front teeth when she was two! sadly, little things like that will happen.
