Toddler Fractures?

Tweet

On Easter my 2 year old little girl was trying to help me make cupcakes. She was standing on her little chair when she fell off of the chair. Well I went into Mommy Mode wisked her of the floor and held her and comforted her. I held her for about 40 mins and she wanted to go see her Papa (grandpa) but didn't want to walk to him. So I carried her to him still not thinking anything was up. After that we realized that she would not stand on one of her legs so we took her to the ER. They took a x-ray and told me that she fractured her fibula. Because of insurance issues I couldn't get her to an Orthopedic Pediatrician until today. He told me that she probably had a toddler fracture. Toddler fractures do alway show up on x-rays until after it begins to start healing. We put a cast on her because I would rather over react rather than under react. Does anyone else have experiences with toddler fractures or casts on toddlers?
