sprained his foot yesterday playing football in PE. Ayodele came home from school yesterday limping and complaining that his foot hurt. We iced it and tried to keep him off of it. This morning when he woke up he immediately started complaining again that it was bothering him and that it hurt to walk. I tried to get him to go to school and just "walk it off." Then he complained that he couldn't even put his socks on without it hurting too badly. Finally I decided we'd better go see a doctor...especially since a few years ago we had Sade "walk off" her painful foot then found out she'd fractured it and was in a boot for 6 months. The nurse took Ayodele back for X-rays and the Doctor found no fracture... Yeah... but he said he probably sprained it really good and to keep off of it as much as possible, and no PE for 2 weeks. So, here's Ayodele today, keeping off his foot and icing it like the doctor said! Poor little guy! He'll be fine, and I think once he gets over the extra attention, he'll probably forget about the pain! Back to school tomorrow, but for today, he enjoyed a day off relaxing and healing his foot!
