Hospital visit again: at the fracture clinic they clarified that it's actually a growth plate strain, which I take to mean that if he were not still growing, his ankle would be in pretty bad shape, but since the bones are soft and not fully fused, and were in perfect alignment at the time of the impact, he's postioned well for full recovery in 3-4 weeks. But feel free to call him Gimpy for a while!

Wow! He really did a number on that foot. I wish I could kiss it all better.
