Last Feb. in the middle of our trip DD10 & DS2.5 and went down the twisty slide in the fossil dig pit at AK. DS wimpered half way down the slide and at the bottom he wouldn't stand on his own and was sort of crabby. DH thought it was just naptime, but I had a bad feeling it was more then that from the way he was acting. We took him to the first aid station (all the way across the park), they gave us a dose of motrin and sent us on our way. DS feel asleep so we finished the park. When we got back to the hotel DS refused to move or walk on his leg. I said "that's it, we are going"...luckily we were having a grand gathering so we left DD with FIL & MIL.
So we get to urgent care, they x-ray DS, turns out he has a severe femur fracture. They can't do anything for us. (Did I mention our transport vehicle that the urgent care provided, clipped the UPS truck that was parked in front of the urgent care facility as it was dropping us off.
). So they send us via ambulance #1 to Celebration, were we get more x-rays and lots of questions about how this "really" happen, together and seperately. We find out it is a twist fracture and that he will need a pediatric specialist, which Celebration doesn't have, so they are sending us over to Florida Hospital which is where the Children's Hospital of Florida is (that ride didn't happen until after midnight) and we will be going in ambulance #2. While we were waiting, I call my sister who is a nurse and tell her what is going on and she informs me that the reason they keep asking us what happened is because a twist fracture is a classic child abuse sign. NICE! DS has a delay in his speech and cant tell anyone what happened so DH and I are doing all the talking.
Finally get to the right hospital, they will need to sedate him and take him into the OR to cast him, but this is no ordinary cast. DS needs a Spica cast, basically he is casted on both legs (even though he broke one, they needed to cast both to stabalize the break) from his toes to his mid chest. He spent the next 3 days in the hospital and released us an hour before we had to leave on ME to get to the airport.
We upgraded to first class so we could fly home (we looked into renting a car, but they said it would be to rough on him=plus no seat restraints for him (couldn't with the cast)). He spent the next 4 months in that spica cast and then another month in a single leg cast.
When people ask about our last WDW trip, we tell them we had the Hospital Tour Package, it is a highly exclusive package that only rare individuals are allowed to book.
