Sebastian's crazy month continues . . .

This has been quite the month for Sebastian with all the stomach viruses and constant GI issues, but he still had one trick up his sleeve.

On Tuesday, he pulled this little table right on to his left ankle/foot:


He couldn't stand, walk or put any weight on it, so we brought him in to the doctor right away. Poor baby :-( Mimi and Johnny were so generous and watched Kateri, she had the most spectacular time building forts and playing.

Sebastian got to wear the cutest little hospital gown!


It is difficult to see, but there will little cartoon characters all over it and the material was so soft and cozy. Why can't they make adult hospital gowns like that?? Sebastian had to have a whole series of xrays done in case the pressure had radiated up his leg and broken something higher up. Nanny (Pats mom) went in with Bashy during the extensive xrays, and he did so well thanks to her help and distraction! Meanwhile, my mom sat with me and even brought me a big bottle of water infused with EmergenC- Truly I was so spoiled with all the help and support!!

The xray results didn't show any fractures, but because he couldn't bear any weight at all, it was possible that the fracture happened in the growth plate. I hadn't realized that growth plates don't show up at all on xrays!! 

So off we went to the orthopedic surgeon, who said it could either be a deep contusion or a fracture in the growth plate, and he had a temporary cast put on Sebastian. It is the tiniest little cast! 

Kateri was especially excited because they brought in green tape, and she has always maintained that green is Sebastians favorite color! 



He was so brave, never crying and only flinching when it hurt. 


So proud of our little guy! Please keep him in your prayers for a quick healing! We will know a week from this coming Monday if there was a fracture in the growth plate or not.
