Ethan started playing soccer the middle of August and probably the middle of September he started complaining that his heal really hurt. He even asked to go to the doctor a few times. But we couldn't see anything and give it time it will get better. So he kept playing on it for another 3 or 4 weeks. It was after one practice that he said he had to go. So we took him to urgent care and they took this X-ray and told us he broke his heal and sent us to a orthopedic.
The orthopedic asked us who told us he broke his heal. Because it wasn't a broken heal it was an inflamed growth plate. So for the next 4 weeks he gets to wear this.
Thus we call it the BIG FOOT! He is looking pretty cool. He loved the attention. And the fact that he doesn't have to go to PE. He has been working in the office and helping out at the elementary school during that period. BUT he has missed a few soccer games. He has gone to support his team and can't wait to get back into the game. They need this guys help.

Wow, I remember Ethan limping during his game when we were there for Labor Day Weekend and him telling his coach that his heal hurt. So glad they figured out exactly what it is. Hope your feeling OK Ethan. Good luck this next week.
