I have been asked this question alot recently. So, i will answer it in a blog. :) Enzo fractured his tibia leg bone over the weekend. He is doing better. It was a hairline fracture and is common for young children. This is how it happened: I was out doing my shopping and the guys (Luis, Ales, and Enzo) went to the park. San Antonio actually had some nice breezy weather this past weekend. Ales and Enzo decided to ride down the slide together. Enzo was in between Ales' legs while sliding. Well, Enzo got scared and tried to bring them to a hault while sliding down. His leg got caught and bent backwards carrying his 32 pound weight and his big brother's 52 pound weight as well. :( Nobody heard a pop or crack, but Enzo would not walk on it and it just seemed that he sprained his ankle. Well, we decide to put ice and an ace bandage on it at home. We let him sleep on it and thought tomorrow it would be better. Nope! He still could not put any weight on it. He refused to walk on it. There was no swelling or redness and we could not really get a straight answer out of him. He kept telling us his knee, then his leg, then his ankle, then his toes and foot. Finally, we take him to the E.R. Yep! The X-ray shows a small faint line on his tibia bone. The doctor said it is common on small children and that he would need a cast for four weeks. Enzo actually got excited because he got to choose a color and we all drew pictures and signed it. He even got a walking shoe that is too cute! :) He feels a little better, but taking a bath is a workout. Well, i hope everyone is good and sound. Take care...:)

Oh NO! I'm glad he's ok. I like the color of the cast...good choice!
oh my gosh his little boot is so stinkin' cute! very cool color!
glad you guys caught it and he doesn't give you too much trouble about it. I bet bath time is a pain!
good to hear from yall!
Aww poor little guy! He does look adorable in his little cast. :) Katie fractured the growth plate in her ankle last year jumping on a trampoline and had to wear a cast and walking shoe exactly like that. It's INSANE how much it all ends up costing! Of course the insurance only wanted to cover a part of it and we had to fight them on it for months, ugh. I hope yours doesn't do that to you!
Oh and for bath time, we ended up double bagging her leg w/ garbage bags and having her shower with the detachable shower head while keeping her leg up on the side of the tub. It worked pretty well to keep the cast dry. :) Good luck!
Poor baby!! Jace actually fractured his tibia when he was 10 months old. They didn't even see the fracture for 2 weeks because it was so small and had already partly healed by the time they (for some strange reason) went back to look at his x-ray and then put a cast on it.
I hope he keeps feeling better with it all though- I think it's worse for you than it is for them after it's all said and done! LOL
