My poor little midget..
He spent all summer waiting for peewee football to start back up. He had two good weeks of practice and was really looking forward to his 1st game. Then it happened!!
While playing on his trampoline he fell, landing with his right knee smacking down on the metal frame that goes around the tramp. He cried out in pain for some time b4 he stumbled and hobbled in to the house to tell me about it. We put an ice pack on his knee and he took a few advil for the pain. I had him lay down to rest for a few hours thinking he just needed to stay off it. The next day he was fine until the end of the day. Then we went to fball practice and the kid was in so much pain after about 45 minutes he couldn’t walk. This continues on for another day or so knee is fine in the morning but late afternoon he can’t walk without crying. So finally his doctor can see him and we head in for a check up. MANY x-rays later at our local hospital we’re told it’s one of two things a severe bone bruise that is bleeding out or he may have torn a ligament in his knee. They want to send us to Children’s Hospital in Little Rock for an MRI. We’re sent home with instructions for no physical activity except walking to class until our appointment at Childrens. The appointment is set for Aug 29th but we still have to get through his bday party at the park with all of his friends on the 27th.. I’m so worried and praying for the bone bruise that will heal on it’s own. Will update as I find out more.
