Brandon's Broken Foot/Toe

On Monday Brandon stubbed his foot on the couch and for days he has been telling us that it hurts and that he cannot wear his shoes. Last night he could not handle the pain any longer. He had an emotional meltdown. One thing is with Brandon's Autism he handles pain differently. What happens is he will be really really fuzzy and gets irritated with anything and cries and cries. Well he started yesterday morning with the day crying. Came home from school crying. By the time he went to bed he was crying about his tooth brush. We sat down with him and comfort him but we would ask him what was wrong and he would say "I don't know", I first thought that he has an ear infection, when his ears are infected it is exactly how he acts. As I was laying with him last night it came to me like a ton of bricks, His FOOT. We decided that we would get up today and take him to the Doctors, well the doctor sent us to the hospital and Surprise it is broken right where his pinky toe meets the foot bone, including the growth plate. We have to follow up on Monday to see how it is healing, if it is not healing, we will have to go see his orthopedic doctor at Primary Children's. Let's Pray that it heals quickly and the way it is supposed to. He seems to be doing well now that it is supported.
