Dakoda's Big Spill

Yesterday afternoon it was so nice outside that I asked Darren to take Dakoda out for a walk around Mam and Pap's yard. They had a blast playing together and I could hear Dakoda's belly laughs from inside the house. But then I heard him start crying and knew immediately that something was wrong - it was definitely an "I'm in pain!" cry. He tripped or stepped in a hole or something, and hurt his left leg, and now refuses to put any weight on it. We took him to the pediatrician today and they x-rayed his ankle, which showed no breaks, and the doctor said that he probably just sprained it. But then a friend of ours recommended that we read up on toddler fractures - which is a fairly common spiral fracture of the shin bone - and we realized that Dakoda wasn't crying out when we touched or rubbed his ankle, but seemed to be in a lot of pain when we tried to rub his leg (and of course, when he tried to stand on it). So tomorrow after Sarah Kate is here, Darren and Pap are going to take Dakoda back to the pediatrician to have his leg x-rayed to make sure that it isn't broken. Please keep our little man in your prayers!
