Kyle has been trying to learn how to do a "gainer", but instead of waiting to learn it at diving lessons, he's been trying to teach himself off the chair and ottoman upstairs.
(A gainer is doing a backflip but you are going forward when you take off.)
I saw him trying to wrap his foot up yesterday morning before his basketball game so I knew he'd hurt himself (again).
Everything was fine at basketball until halftime when Reed went out on the court (they're on different teams again) and they started trying to get the ball from one another....which turned in to a full on wrestling match and Kyle limping off the court.
The coach called Jason over during the 3rd quarter and Kyle was crying. Jason spent half the 3rd quarter messing around with Kyle's foot.
Kyle played the last half of the 3rd quarter and most of the 4th. He was hopping around occasionally and he was holding his hands the way he does when he is either nervous, upset, or in pain.
He was still holding his hands after the game.
We went to lunch, then to Reed's game and Kyle's foot was still hurting him. So when we got home I took him to the emergency room for an X-ray.
We explained that he doesn't have time for a broken foot because he needs to finish up basketball season and he has a diving meet in February. The nurses really enjoyed watching his diving videos.
Fingers crossed, they are pretty sure it's not broken. The doctor said if it's fractured in the growth plate, he wouldn't be able to see that, so if it still hurts next week he'll need to go to the orthopedic.
After hearing about all his activities, they put him in a softish cast to keep him off of it for the next few days (which means until Monday afternoon since he has diving and a basketball game).
