We have a toddler at our house. A toddler who got a toddler fracture. Never in my life have I broken a bone myself so the whole fracture world is relatively unknown to me. Sure I worked around patients with broken bones in my past working in the Children’s ER, but those were all fresh breaks. They left the ER and I never saw the recovery process. So when my own son stepped down wrong, tripped on a toy and “twisted his ankle” I thought that’s all it was. Just a twisted ankle. Only it wasn’t. It was so much more.
He just rolled his ankle on a toy and then refused to walk. He wouldn’t even crawl. He just sat on the floor and would say things like, “Carry me, Mama” in a pitiful little voice. My heart broke the first time I heard those words. I knew something was very wrong. The ER doctors said it and the orthopedic’s office a week later further confirmed it.
He had the dreaded toddler fracture.
It was summer time. How does one survive a broken leg during the summer? Here’s how we are managed and what helped to get us through. Particularly what helped the toddler get through it.
