Garnett's Fracture
Garnett continues to show improvement. He is putting weight on his leg and is walking around in his splint and, of course, climbing on whatever he can.
The x-rays on Friday clearly showed his fracture, but the doctor didn't think he needed a cast unless we wanted one. Going two or more weeks without bathing a stinky little kid was not an option so we stayed with the splint.

On September 20 Garnett suffered a Toddler's Fracture on the playground.
Toddler's Fractures or Childhood Accidental Spiral Tibial (CAST) fractures are bone fractures of the distal (lower) part of the shin bone (tibia) in toddlers and other young children. The fracture involves the distal third to distal half of the tibia, is undisplaced and has a spiral pattern. It occurs after low-energy trauma, sometimes with a rotational component.
He is in a splint now. We will get more x-rays on Friday and maybe a cast.
