The Toe Is Broken??? What????

Ok so several weeks back I was coming out of the bathroom and all I heard was Carter screaming and I went and got him assuming Levi had upset him by taking a toy. Only when I tried to put him back down he wouldn't walk, didn't want down and I noticed the top of he's foot was swelling up..... However by the end of the night he was walking, gimping have you but still he was walking!! Over the next few weeks the swelling would come and go but the gimping was a constant.... Though he doesn't fuss when walking, pardon, Gimping..... And He'll let you touch it, just not for too long...... So today after two weeks of gimping and the fact that it swelled yet again today I called he's doctor. She had me take him right in to the hospital for an x-ray. I thought to my self this is pointless cause if anything were broken he wouldn't be able to walk at all, gimp or no. So we had it taken and by the time I got home she had already called and had left a message...... However now they were closed. But she called back after six!!!! This CANNOT be good I thought to myself as I saw the number on the caller ID! She said he broke he's big toe!!! SNAP-O!!! I was like WHAT????? HOW"S HE WALKING THEN???? She said some babies are just too busy to be bothered with it so they do what ever they have to to keep mobile...That's are Carter to a Tee!! .. Hence the cute little gimp he created. I felt like a horrible mother for not taking him in sooner!!! So now in the morning I have to call an orthopedic..... She said they might make a specialized boot for him to wear, or depending on if it already started to heal back incorrectly, they might have to rebreak it and then set it!!! OYE the mommy guilt pains!!!! Always something around here I tell ya!! So lesson to be learned in all this?? Just because your toddler can still "walk" on it doesn't mean they didn't still break anything!!!! CHECK------ Lesson learned!!!! I'll keep ya posted on the "Big Broken Toe Debacle."
