Broken Leg

Friday night Ryan broke his leg. Our first major tragedy on the tramp. Jakob and Ryan were jumping together and Jakob jumped a little to high. The Doctor said that a lot of broken bones on the trampoline come from older siblings jumping with younger ones. The force of the trampoline when it snaps back after the older one jumps is usually enough to break a bone on the younger sibling. The doctor also said usually it is by the knee, but not in Ryan's case, his is down by his ankle and he broke both bones. He is in pretty good spirits for the most part but wants me close by. He had a rough night last night, I don't know if it was worse for him or for us having to keep getting up with him. Ryan has a temporary cast for now until we can see an orthopedic doctor next week. Ahh the joys with children.

This one you can see it's broken near the top which is by his ankle.

This one you can see how both bones are broken.
