Yesterday afternoon around 5pm Glenn was carrying a dinner chair () to the computer to watch Evan playing a game. Im not sure exactly what happened as I was in the bedroom changing Iain. He fell & tells me the chair fell on his leg. He layed on the floor crying & carrying on, which for Glenn is pretty normal. He is a real drama queen at the moment. Me being the horrid mother that I am, Pulled him up to stand as I was still holding Iain & couldn't work out what was wrong with Glenn while he was on the floor. When I pulled him to his feet, it was pretty obvious that he couldn't bear weight on that leg. I gave him panadol & he continued to cry for a good 40 mins or so after. He wont bear weight on the leg STILL this morning but if I put pressure on the sole of his foot he is fine, well not fine, he does sook a little but its hard to tell if thats simply because he thinks its going to hurt.
There is no bruising but is a very slight bump on his shin where he says it hurts.
You hear stories all the time of kids breaking bones that go un noticed for days so I am unsure of what to do. Should I go to the Dr & ask for it to be xrayed?
