Luke, Elsi, and I visited the pediatric orthopedist yesterday. Good news! Luke has a buckle fracture of his first metatarsal, which is supposedly a very "stable" break. He doesn't have to wear a cast; he just has to wear a shoe (his own), and go back to the orthopedist in four weeks for a new x-ray to make sure it's healed up. It hurts if he walks barefoot, but he is allowed to go swimming, which is a major relief.
