My son hurt his foot while jumping on the trampoline with other kids.  Unlike BM I didn't determine that it was the trampoline's fault b/c we don't have a net...gasp....Anyways, usually BS will walk off an injury quickly but he seemed to be really hurt this time and couldn't put weight on his foot.  I had him stay home, elevate it, ice it and rest it on Monday.  Well he was still in pain on Tuesday so I got him into the dr and got an xray done.  Thankfully no break but dr advised it could be an occult fracture which doesn't always show up immediately so if pain persisted we should go back i
