Don't Call CPS!

Poor Bubby!
Our curse has started to affect our monkeys. 
Sunday, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce Wes to the big boy swing. After all, he will be 2 in a few weeks.
I was hovering and barely moving him back and forth.
He was having a blast.
Then, we stopped and went to get off. I let go of the chains for a second and he leaned forward and fell out. 
:-o
Mother of the year.
He cried and cried forever.
Fast-forward to later that evening.
Still guarding and refusing to bear weight.
Our first trip to the Emergency Room.





Look at that crazy hair!


After a 3.5 hours, the X-Rays showed no fractures in the pelvis or femurs. 
We went home thinking he just had a bad bruise. 

Monday he stayed home with Nana while Daddy and I went to work.
Still not walking and very tender on the right leg.

Tuesday, Daddy stayed home with little man and took him back to the ER for more X-Rays.
This time they shot ALL of his leg and what do you know, he has a small, non-displaced fracture in his distal tibia.
Bubby! :'-(


Just chillin' with my broken leg

Splint for 24 hours

Wednesday


Lounging with Mommy, watching cartoons

This afternoon was our appointment with the orthopedist. 
Dub has to wear a full leg cast for TWO WEEKS.
No walking.
He was nice enough to give us a water-proof cast (yay for real baths!!) and let us pick out the colors.
We opted for a manly camo.


I'm a bad ass with my broken leg, camo cast and angry dinosaur
But I have a soft side, too <3

It breaks my heart to see him in that cast. I hope things settle down for awhile. I have to look for a great Birthday present for my little man. Give him HUGS and Kisses for Me. Kiss Miss Emily too.
