I realized today that I hadn't updated Eric's status here on our blog.
Eric went to see the orthopedic doctor Tuesday morning. They did more x-rays and came back with a slightly worse scenario than we thought...but he's still okay.
Left foot: dislocated the fourth toe which stayed in socket from the night they reset it to the appointment. Now it has to be buddy wrapped to prevent it from slipping out again. He broke (I'm not sure if these are fractures or BREAKS) the bones on his foot leading to the 3rd and 5th toes. They gave him a walking boot to wear but is restricted in standing on it. As the pain becomes more bearable, he'll be able to start walking on it.
Left shoulder: fractured clavicle but lets add in a separated ac. This is the doctor's greatest concern. He feels the bones will heal just fine, but the separation on the joint is in the moderate zone. We are hoping that when he goes back at the end of the month, it will be healing appropriately and we can skip surgery. His arm is in a sling and he is to do some light exercises to keep the arm from getting stiff. He is also prohibited from lifting anything more than one pound.
