Harrison

Just wanted to let everyone know that Harrison came home in tears from school today because of his broken toe. It was hard to take off his shoe and his foot was swollen. We ice packed it and Harrison cried himself to sleep. I was finally able to get him into the doctor tonight and his toe is infected. He is on antibiotics and is putting cream on his foot that cost an arm and a leg even after insurance. He has to keep his foot elevated at all times if possible, even at school using another chair. If it doesn't start to look better in a couple days I have to take him back in and we will get x-rays done. Worse case scenario is that the bones haven't healed correctly and if that is the case he could get a bone infection and we don't want that. So Dr. Twiggs wants us to watch it very carefully.

Anyway, we feel really bad for him and his toe is just throbbing constantly. He takes a lot of hot baths to soak his foot as well.

Oh, the poor guy! So sorry, Harrison. That is no fun especially when you are just starting school. We hope to hear that you are doing better very soon.

Sorry Harrison! Not a fun way to start school, but maybe the girls will feel bad for you and take good care of you!

Sorry, I'm a little behind in commenting but I hope Harrison's toe is healing quickly. That is NO fun! We'll be thinking and praying for him.
