Spencer has a soft tissue sprain. It must have been a mild sprain too because he's back to being all over the place. He's had the brace off for a couple of days now. He'll limp a little towards the end of the day but is otherwise doing just fine.
He never even had any swelling or discoloration! In fact I think the wrap around the brace gave him more visible injury than the main injury. He would walk on the brace (which the doctor didn't think he'd be able to manage) causing the outer wrapping to bunch and then cause sores. It seemed like he was fighting the brace more than the brace was helping so we took it off him. I only know he's having a hard time when he starts limping because he doesn't fuss about it. I think he knows if he fusses I'll put the brace back on! He's a tough little one!
So thank goodness nothing long term. I'm sorry for any mom that has a child in a cast!
What a tough little guy. I'm so relieved he's going to be ok and nothing long term!
ReplyDeleteDo you recall Molly's body cast?? That was a charmer -- sort of like carrying around a 4 foot board. Soft tissue sprain sounds much better than that!
