Broken leg

We lasted approximately 2.5 months before we had our first trampoline casualty.  I hate to admit it, but I was on the trampoline and pretty much caused the break. It was a freak, split second jump, that caused a spiral fracture in Corbin's tibia. 
I didn't take him to the doctor at first because I wasn't sure what exactly hurt and thought he might have twisted his knee.  He collapsed trying to put pressure on it and so we let him rest the remainder of the night. Saturday morning he was still in a lot of pain. We had a soccer game to get Bridger to. After the game my parents came over and we all decided he needed to go to the ER (or urgent care where we finally went).
Sure enough, the x-rays came back showing the break. The doctor put splint on and told me to call the orthopedic dr. on Monday. He was a trooper and just hung out on the couch for a couple of days. We were able to get him in to get it casted on Tuesday. Once the cast was on he was much happier. Dr. Olson didn't seem to think that it was that big of deal. It must be a pretty typical break. Below the growth plate and just a fracture. Hopefully only 4 weeks in the cast.

Trampoline is very best for the children for playing and they can get exercise and can keep their body fit by trampoline.
