Well here is the really SAD, LONG story! Lukas fell, TWO WEEKS AGO ok ALMOST but anyway Dec. 19, I am sure now that there was a twist and fall but anyway he was trying to get in between Daddy's desk and the coffee table and fell somehow. Spencer brought him to work cause Lukas went into shock and we decided to go to the urgent care. The Dr there said Yep it's broke (before x-rays) then the xrays #1 came back with no fracture. So they said if he doesn't walk by Monday (4days later) come back. Well when I got home I just had a mother's/ nurse feeling something wasn't quite right so we went to the ER. X-ray #2 came back no fracture of hip and upper leg. The Dr had the nerve to tell me Luke was "playing or pretending" to be hurt. Pissed off is light for my feelings, my kid is in pain and no one can find anything. ONE WEEK LATER... Lukas still wasn't walking and I noticed bruising on his foot and so we went back for x-ray #3. This time his lower leg and foot, nothing, no fracture. The Dr was pretty rough with the leg and Lukas only winced but I had been giving him IBuprofen, I mean I am NOT into torture (you might think I am when you hear what we did... later in story). I told the Dr my gut feeling is something is up. He said he is OK, everything checks out and make him walk, make him walk to his Christmas presents and if he wants to do something make him walk first. Well that was NO GO! The kid would NOT walk. So we tortured him... that's right worst mother of the year award one day we made him stand for like a minute to show him it didn't hurt while the entire time he screamed bloody murder (Ah this KILLS me!). SO this week I had it, Lukas had not walked in two weeks. When I was at work I talked to the peds specialist, he said I could bring him in. I did and... XRAY #4 FRACTURE, spiral FRACTURE, BROKE, CRACK, PAIN!! I broke down and cried in the office. The Dr tried to make me feel better but all I could see was us trying to make Lukas stand that day. Oh, pain in my heart! SO we got a cast and I think it has given him some support because he is moving around much better! Oh, boy only took 4 xrays to see it! Anyway we took him for chicken nuggets at Wendy's like my mom always did after our Dr when we were sick.

Well to celebrate the New Year we are quarantined to the house. We are all sick, especially MaKynzee. She has been SO much fun today! Spencer is just getting over his cold and I am just getting it.
MaKynzee after dinner and the gleam in her eye is not sparkles but a cold!
Spencer was so nice to take this picture for me as I was working. Kynzee woke up with a bloody/ snotty nose! Just awful!

That is awful it took 4 xrays to see that it was broken. Sometimes you just want to tell the doctors that it doesn't matter that they went to school for 10 years - you are a mother and you know when something is wrong. Hang in there.
You poor thing. I hope he heals fast. Don't be too hard on yourself. I am glad that you stuck to your instincts.
I hope you all feel better soon!
Poor little Lukas! I'm glad they were able to find the fracture, and I'm sorry you all had to go through that. I hope you all get feeling better!
Thank heaven for Dr Denton!!! I am so glad that you finally got some answers but it shouldnt have taken 2 weeks and 4 xrays!! Poor little guy, I am glad you trusted your gut instinct.
