Big rocks dropped on little feet breaks little toes


Dominic dropped a rather large rock on his foot and this is the result. After consulting the doctor's assistant over the phone she confirmed it is broken and there isn't anything we can do about it. Dom walks with a limp and all his shoes hurt him. Every once in a while in a non whiney tone he says, "Mom, my foot hurts." Poor guy! It happened while I was cooking dinner night before last. I had Dom and Sam looking for rocks in our back yard. Hard to find ones like red with purple polka dots. 5 muinutes later I heard a shriek that had me sprinting to the back yard. Thank goodness DJ came home a minute later because I was ready to take him to the ER. I thought his foot was broken! It was very bruised and swollen. DJ calmed me down and said let's just wait and see. (which is usually my approach, but I was really upset) Ahh the joys of motherhood. We should really get honorary degree's in some medical field with all the stuff we deal with over a lifetime!!!

Oh, Ouch! Poor Dom. I am sure that hurts. Did you find a doctor?

Nope. I called my old doctor. I'm taking Sam and Dom in for their well child visits when we're in Utah in July. So I've decided I don't need one. I'll check out a quick care place or maybe find one for an emergency.
