Well, THAT was fun!
Jun. 20th, 2009 01:53 pmWe're in Toronto visiting the 'rents, but decided to go to Niagara Falls overnight, to go to the Gawdawful tourist traps, eat crappy food and stay at Great Wolf Lodge, which has a large waterpark.
Of course, we are at the waterpark for about half an hour before Harrison BREAKS HIS LEG in the wave pool. Well, okay, it's not broken for sure, but the Dr. thinks it probably is. We spent most of the night in the E.R, and then another four hours the next morning with a specialist. *sigh*
It would seem that kids have crack-like growth plates in their leg bones, and it is difficult to tell if there is a break right in that area, but due to the extreme swelling and amount of pain, the Dr. decided to 'assume the worst' and treat it as a break. Three separate sets of x-rays were inconclusive.
It was a pretty shitty thing to happen on vacation, but I must say, five hours in the late night E.R. makes you pretty damn grateful that it's the only thing that's wrong. There were certainly people that were much worse off than us.
Harry's in a full leg brace until we get home and another specialist can take a look at him. Aside from the initial screaming and bellyaching, he's holding up pretty well.
And I have to say,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
