Toddler fracture stories

A few days ago, my 2-year-old had an accident and ended up with a “toddler fracture” on his tibia. He’s now in a walking boot for 3 weeks and we are 3 days in.

I know kids heal quickly and this is a pretty common injury, but as a parent it’s still been a lot to process — both the stress of the accident and worrying about him getting back to 100%.

I’d love to hear some positivity from others who have gone through this. How did your child handle the walking boot? Did they come out of it totally fine and back to running around like nothing happened?

Hoping to hear some reassuring recovery stories — both from the perspective of the little one healing and the parent themselves recovering (I feel like I’m always going to be terrified now). Thank you!!
