broken bones update

So yesterday I was home on my lunch break and my phone rang.  It was dayhome lady, she said "Greyson hurt himself."  He was climbing on a crib trying to see Vi who they were just putting down for her nap...  This is something that he apparently does everyday they're there.  But this time when he was told to get down instead of climbing down nicely he jumped backwards, landing crouched down like a frog.  He then started crying and saying OWIE and HURTING RIGHT THERE... They thought he was maybe faking, since he's started doing that for attention, but when he wouldn't stand up on his leg, or stop crying they thought "oh shit, he's really hurt".  So they phoned me to come get him and get him checked out.

I took him to the hospital and daddy met me there.  It was very busy in the ER so the doc sent us in for xrays and would get to them when he could.  Once he found out there was possibly a fracture found on the xray he took really good care of us.  Side note, the doctors kid goes to the same day home as Grey and Vi:)

So now my boy has a cast from his toes to above his knee.  He is normally a VERY active little man, so this whole thing is making him SOOO mad.  He's learned today how to stand up holding onto the couch, and scoot around a little.  Last night was a little long, thanks to drugs it wasn't as painful for him as it could have been.

Everyone keeps telling me their stories about their broken limbs as a child and how it sucked, but everything got better.... All i can think of is, HOW am i going to go grocery shopping, HOW am i going to bathe him, WHAT can we do to occupy his time.... i know it's going to heal, but i want to take his pain away, and i want it better NOW....

I wish he didn't think he was spiderman!
 His jacket is on in this one, because he thought if he got to put his jacket on we would go home:)
