Here's the photos of Tyler in his new spica cast at Loma Linda Hospital. Tyler and the boys were horsing around playing a "tripping game" Monday night when Tyler tripped and broke his femur bone.We did not realize that his leg was broken but we took him to urgent care since he looked like he was in a lot of pain. We thought maybe he twisted or tore a ligament in his knee. Urgent care did x-rays and then an ambulance was sent to transport him to Loma Linda Hospital. It was quite a serious break - a spiral femur fracture I believe is what they called it, although fracture I thought was a huge understatement when I saw the x-rays! His whole bone was split in two. We were in the hospital from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon.The team of orthopedic doctors that worked on getting him into his spica cast were wonderful and very informative.He is pretty much immobilized for the next 6 weeks at a minimum. We'll follow up with the orthopedic surgeon in 2 weeks. He has to wear a special seatbelt and must lay down in the car to transport him so we will be doing minimal driving during this time. We're all hanging in there and getting adjusted to our new routine. We're so thankful for our ward ,neighbors, and family who are making this transition easier.
