Fracture Update

It's been a week since Johann fell down the stairs and fractured his leg.

All week we've been making sure that he didn't walk on it. It was surprisingly easy and, as Arial pointed out, showed that he must have been in a lot of pain if it made him avoid walking. He did get around pretty well by crawling or walking on his knees.

It took a little bit of convincing to get him back on his feet because he had gotten used to not standing but now he is back to using walking as his preferred mode of transport.

He is still afraid of the stairs (which is fine with us for the time being) and periodically points at the stairs and says "Fell down stairs. Hurt leg." Hopefully, he hasn't been psychologically scarred for life. I'm guessing that he will be fine though.

Now, we just have to keep him from climbing and jumping on things for another week while Johann's leg strengthens. That is not going to be easy.
