How we Celebrated Mike's Birthday

 

As we were headed out the door to go to dinner for Mike's birthday on the 22nd, Ethan decided that he needed to tackle Spencer (this is a common accurance in our home).  In the process of tackling Spencer, he broke Spencer's leg...again.  I was pretty sure that it was broken in the same spot, so I was a little suprised that it ended up being broken right above his ankle (both bones).  This poor kid has had two broken legs, in two different spots all within the first 2 and a half years of his life.  The guys in radiology were giving us a hard time, and when we left the hospital, they were like, "see you in 6 months." (funny).  Anyway, his bones were bent a little, so they just put a temperary cast on until he could see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday (this was a tuesday).  Anyway, after we got home, the Dr. called us and told us not to panic, but that the radiologist found some growths in Spencer's bone above the knee.  Of course the first thing I did was panic!  I called the Orthopedic Surgeon first thing in the morning, because I didn't want to wait all through the holiday to find out what we needed to do.  So we headed off to the orthopedic surgeon.  They casted Spencers leg and also discovered that the growths in his bone were NOT there the last broken leg that he had.  He will be getting an MRI on the 6th to decide if the growth is cancerous or not.  Needless to say, it has been a kind of stressful, anxiety filled week at our home.  Now we just have to wait and pray for the best.
