#4s Broken Toe


On Tuesday Fish was hopping around the couches like a bunny with his bosom buddie Ava and fell and while falling jammed his toe against the couch. He immediately fell to the ground and tried with earnest to hold back his screams. Finally Ava came to get me and I could quickly tell there was something wrong, #4 rarely expresses that much emotion while in pain, especially when there is someone around. It took a very long time for his pain to subside. The missionaries happened to be over that night for dinner and they gave him a blessing. He slept pretty good that night and the next morning we took him to the doctor, sure enough there was a fracture in his 3rd tow. Luckily no crutches, he seems to be wobbling around just fine on his heal. My sweet poor skateboarding boy is going to be out of commission for a little while.

I didn't know Fish was so flexible!
