doctors.

three thursdays ago, z was sitting on our three steps, and somehow got up the wrong way & so he fell & hurt his leg. i wasn't there at the time, but i came home as fast as possible. i took him to see his pediatrician, who sent us for x-rays to the orthopedic clinic right next door. they didn't have any pediatric specialists there. the office was really busy. z had fun tearing up the paper covering on the examination table. they gave him a little toy duck to play with, and he's feeding it his granola bar in the picture.

he still wasn't walking on the leg by tuesday, so my friend j got us in to see an orthopedist specializing in pediatrics. very nice of her! so here we are, in the waiting room. the doctor said he had no idea what was injured, but that it could take 2-3 weeks for him to start walking on it again. the very next day, z woke up with croup, so back to the pediatrician we went. way too much time in doctors' offices!
