Bubu's ankle

About two weeks ago Aaron was jacking around playing football with some buddies and landed wrong on his foot. It happened at the high school football game so he opted to join me in the stands and watch Fossil Ridge play while icing his ankle.

I have never been one to rush my child to the doctor (unless of course it is a breathing issue .... Amy... or some weird-abnormal-unexplained-HUGE swelling... this has happened to both Aaron.. still don't know what happened to him... and Ashley.... who we found out is allergic to Vietnamese candy), and I'm sure that comes from my own parents laid back let the body heal itself attitude.

Needless to say I was not overly concerned and he was content to chill out and enjoy the game while icing it thinking he would be able to 'walk it off'. So while his friends continued to play football in a little area by the field we cheered for the panthers!! :)

Well after all this time he is still boobing about his ankle... Aaron not being my crybaby makes me think oh no... maybe there is something really wrong with his hoof! So we make an appointment and this morning he ditches school and we head over to the doctors office.

After waiting an hour (after all my time is not nearly as valuable as a doctors...) Dr. Kirby comes in looks at his foot, presses it a couple times and announces that she is pretty sure it is not broken just a 'good' sprain. HOW CAN A SPRAIN BE GOOD? ha! She has the nurse come in and wrap and ice it, makes an appointment for him to get it x-rayed just to make sure and guess what?!?!? Aaron can return to school! :) yay!

So this evening Daddy will be taking Aaron to get a picture taken of his foot. I'm confident that he will be fine... heck he has been walking on it for the last two weeks. If it turns out the foot is broken I will feel like a pond scum mom :)

just want to note... I love our doctor... and consider her worth the wait.... :)
