Update on Will

I want to give a brief update on our day as I'm pretty sure my mom called everyone she knows today (love you mom!) to tell them to pray for Will.

To give a brief rundown of the days events, Will dropped a 30 lb weight from Johnny's weight set directly on his foot this morning as we were in the garage preparing to head out on a family walk.
I took one look at the bloody mangled foot and knew something was broken or worse. I rushed Will to the local urgent care where the doctor told me to take him directly to the hospital. We then went home, picked up Johnny and Jane and headed down to the Valley ER.
I think having a moaning toddler and small baby in tow helped us get in quickly, and within the hour the doctor numbed, cleaned and had Will's foot x-rayed. He does have two fractures on his foot/toe region, got some stitches to close a laceration and had to have his big toenail removed, but it doesn't look like the growth plate will be affected, meaning that if all heals well he should be fine and won't require surgery. We head to an orthopedic specialist next week and will then have regular check-ups, but we're thankful that we have such great medical care available to us!
Will was SUCH a brave guy during the day, and Jane was her sweet usual self and even got a short nap in at the hospital. Will's doctor and nurses were very gentle and worked quickly to help him out. One nurse even gave Will's Peter Pan doll a pretend vital sign patch to match Will's and Will kept saying that Peter Pan was "hurt" too.
He had lots of family surrounding him with love and John and I were talking about how much we could feel God's presence and your prayers, as the way was made smooth for us today and we were both able to remain calm even though it was extremely difficult for us to see our baby in so much pain.
Will crashed around 6:30 this evening after taking some Tylenol/codeine. His little foot is all splinted up, and will hopefully be well protected. It will be interesting to see how he does getting around, as the doctor said to "keep him off of it as much as possible"--could be difficult to do :-)
We're supposed to be taking some family pictures with the Simons tomorrow, so we'll see how many smiles we get out of Will...
