Kaleb started limping on his right knee one day, so I looked at it and it was VERY swollen. The next day it was much worse (so bad that he couldn't even straighten his leg, so it was stuck bent at a 90 degree angle) so I made him an appointment, and he had to get X-rays, the doc didnt know what was wrong with it so they splinted it and sent him home. Through the night it got even worse and was hurting him to even touch it...And he could NO longer walk on it...so I was stuck carrying kim on one side and addison on the other side!! I decided this was NOT going to work for me, so I made him an appointment with a specialist that same day and The doctor had to straighten his leg, and if he moved it at all it would lock back up into the 90 degree angle again. Kaleb was getting so frustrated because he wanted his leg straight. The doc had to come straighten it out again for him like 4 times. They also did x-rays and somehow he had injured his growth plate in his knee. They think he fractured it but said a lot of times with kids they cant see the fracture on an x-ray. So below is a picture of Kaleb with his FULL LEG cast for summer!! No WATER for him...poor thing!! The weird thing is that he broke his knee and he doesnt even know what he did. We are guessing it happened on his bike when he crashed into his cousin, but he never came crying or anything...he just got back up and kept riding!
Army cast...
