That's Gonna Leave a Mark Part II

Collin's Dr. called us a few days ago and said that while he was reviewing Collin's x-rays he noticed a little shadow that ran along his Tibia bone. After blowing the x-ray up, he had a suspicion that the shadow was another fracture so he asked us to come back in.
From what I could see, and from what was explained to me, Collin has a fracture on his Fibula that runs vertically and then he has a fracture on his Tibia that runs horizontally. And since the Tibia is a weight bearing bone, he needed to be taken out of his "walking cast" and put into a cast that won't allow him to walk until the bone is healed.

So Collin spent the morning getting his old cast removed and a longer cast put on.

He did so good! He just sat there and watched them saw off his old cast and then watched as they re-wrapped his leg in a new one.

He was copying everything the Doctor was doing. When the doctor would tap on the cast, Collin would tap on the cast.
When the doctor started smoothing the bumps out of the gauze before it dried, Collin tried to smooth it out too. He ended up with green fingers in the end, but at least he was entertained.

So the plan is to wear the full leg cast for 3 weeks, go back for more x-rays and if the Tibia bone has healed then he will be placed in the walking cast again for 2 more weeks. I am so glad this happened now and not during the summer!!!
