Saturday they went to play basketball at Del Val. Greg was just shooting layups and came down wrong on his foot. We thought it was only sprained and he would be walking with a limp for a few days. Ha! Boy were we wrong. Actually the nurse assistant at the pediatrician said it was probably only a sprain but sent him to the hospital for an xray anyways. Turns out he fractured his growth plate in his ankle and will be in a cast for at least 4 weeks.
He got a pretty cool looking black cast and has a silver sharpie for everyone to sign it. He is handling it pretty well even though I know he is bummed about missing fall ball this year. He got a walking boot so that after about a week he can ditch the crutches. I am going to guess he is ready to ditch them by Friday.
He is going to get car service to and from school this week while he still has crutches so he gets a little extra sack time in the morning.
