...............................Possible Fracture

Hello everyone. Sorry its been awhile but nothing to really update on, well until yesterday.

Zachary was walking out of school and tripped on his shoe lace and fell and landed on his LEFT knee with his leg bent underneath him. He came home crying and the bus aid actually carried him in the house so he didn't walk on it. For Zach to cry is a seldom occurance, and then to cry in front of people, you know something is wrong. Well we iced it, elevated it, and gave him tylonal/motrin because he absolutely refused to go have it checked out. It took us over 2 hours to get him to stop crying and calm down. I told him, I would make a deal with him. I would wait till morning and see how it is and decide then if he needs it checked out. He was fine with that and calmed down. He slept very well with no complaints, but when he woke up at 5:30 am he couldn't move the leg. I checked on him and he couldn't move it, bend it, or put any weight on it. Instantly I knew something was wrong so I told him I was calling the Dr. at 9. I would prefer him to see her instead of the ER dr's that don't know what he went through surgery wise. Well I took him over to Syracuse this afternoon and they examined and took xrays and they think he has a possible fracture of the LEFT Femur. They can't verify it until they get copies of the xrays from his Dr in Boston. So for now Zachary is non-weight bearing, in a immobolizer, and wheel chair for getting around. Hopefully we will know more in the next couple of days. If it is fractured he will be put in a cast, they just didn't want to cast it incase its not fractured then have to take it off and the cost is crazy since during this we found out Robs new insurance doesn't cover his dr. I about went through the roof because the paper we got said the doctor was a participating Dr. So now we have a outrageous medical bill since the whole thing has to be paid out of pocket. But I wouldn't refuse that bill since my son needed to be seen. Some day we will get some luck on our side. So for now Zach is relaxing in the recliner and let me tell you, he looks like a King sitting there barking out get this for me, oh I need this, Can you do this for me? Got to love our little monsters.
