Update: He is scheduled to get a cast, Friday, December 10th.
So as you all know already, Torsten fell down awkwardly and hurt his leg or ankle. The 24 hour clinic took an X-ray and put a splint on it. The results were inconclusive, but they guessed
"toddler's fracture." When we took him to the follow up appointment, they took off the splint and found a pressure sore on his heel. The doc twisted his ankle around, and Torsten didn't fuss. He guessed there was no fracture. Normally, he would have put a cast on it anyway, just to be safe, but didn't because of the sore. He asked us not to let him stand on it for a couple of weeks. Well, he stood on it, and now he is in pain again. It is probably broken. We will call the doctor Monday morning and see how soon he can put a cast on it.
