I'm thankful for Modern Medicine

This counts for yesterday :)

Today I'm thankful for Modern Medicine. 

Max was having fun with the panorama photo options in the x-ray waiting room

  And for the invention of the walking boot which enables Max's broken foot to remain washable while healing. Yes Max broke his foot!  He twisted his ankle while playing soccer at school on Friday.  It hurt him all weekend and was quite swollen on the side so we took him in Monday for an x-ray.  The doctor wasn't sure if it was broken or a stressed growth plate. We got  a comparison x-ray of his other foot on Tuesday which showed no growth plate in the area.  Broken indeed.

The "avulsion fracture" arrow is pointing to the place where the break is. Thankfully now that it is immobilized there is absolutely no pain. His boot will be his best friend for the next 3-6 weeks.

Thankfully this won't interfere with his soccer season or summer swimming.  We can totally handle this broken bone easy!
