Busted foot

Hendrix and I were in the basement the other day looking through some boxes. We have a standing space heater that weighs like 25 pounds and is solid metal sitting in our storage room. Poor Hendrix had no shoes on and tipped the heater over. It landed right on top of his little foot. I knew it was really bad because he wouldn't stop crying and kept telling me that bees were inside of his foot, stinging him. I took him to intacare where they x-rayed it and told me there was a small crack in his bone. We took him up to the pediatrician where they looked at the x-rays and gave us a boot for him to wear so that he could get around.
Today is day 3 and he's been doing really well! He loves his little boot and has no problem walking and even running all over. His foot looks worse everyday though. The bruising is really starting to show up now that all of the swelling is gone.

 This was like 5 minutes after it happened. Sorry the picture is so bad, it was taken with my dinosaur phone.
 
 So excited that Grandma Brenda brought him cool balloons and some really fun toys.
 
 Cutest little "Wee Walker" boot you've ever seen!
 
Day 2 bruises.
 
 Day 3. Still swollen and more bruising on the right side.
 
Happy boy!
