Well, these posts will be sadly out of order, but I can't help it. Life is insane and I can't keep up.
3 weeks ago Mike was installing an outlet on the end of our kitchen bar and Jonathan was his little shadow watching it all happen. All of the sudden the battery fell off of Mike's drill and right onto poor Jonathan's toe. He goes screeching across the living room in shock and I chase after him yelling "what happened?" Finally I was able to grab him up and look down and saw that his toe was already 3 times its normal size. Broke indeed. So we kept an eye on it and when it looked worse the next day I took him in to the Doctor and they x-rayed it (which was pretty cool to a 5 year old) and told us how to buddy tape it and give it time to heal.
Yeah right. He is 5 after all and keeping him calm enough for something to heal is next to impossible. It is doing better though and the Doctor thinks it will be fine in the long run. It's not like it is his big toe or anything. It is his 4th toe (so the one next to the pinkie toe) and doesn't really affect walking or running.
So, you can't really tell since this isn't a great picture (taken with my phone), but it is purple and swollen. This is about 1 week post breakage.

FYI - I got a stress fracture in my fourth metatarsil (4th toe) on July 23rd and I can still feel it! I hope his feals faster than mine. Maybe it's just because I'm older (not old!) but broken toes really hurt!
