At the rip old age of 4 Ewan has been to the ER 6 times. The first was at his premature birth (prefaced by a helicopter ride) and the latest was necessitated by his very first broken bone. Just before dinner Friday night he came off the steps wrong and twisted his foot. And after the customary teary outburst it became apparent that he was really hurting. There were no obvious signs of a break and I was hoping it was only a sprain. But by bed time he could hardly sit still because of the pain so it was off to the hospital for us.

Skip forward after 4 hours of waiting…

The doc informed us that he has a hair line fracture of his Tarsus Bone and that he’ll need a splint and 4 weeks of rest.

So pray for the little guy. He’s having a hard time sleeping but otherwise he’s been a real champ.

We’ll keep you updated.
