Dagmar,
I am so sorry to hear this. Isn't it enough that our kids have to deal with fragile livers, hearts, kidneys, etc....fragile bones make their quality of life just stink. I will pray that this is his first and last broken bone.
What was he doing? With Evan, it wouldn't take much to get a fracture. Is he in a hip-spica cast or is it just on the leg he has broken?
My prayers are with you...much love,
Sherry L.
