The horses escaped from their corral (our horse included in the group) and Grandma JoAnn needed some help getting them back in. So Zach ran out to help. He ended up running them in to the bottom pen and then into the wind break. As he was running to shut the gate he "rolled" his ankle. He got up to run again and immediately fell back down. He looked down at his ankle and it was stuck "rolled" in at a 45 degree angle. He decided that is was best to pop it back into place to finish getting the horses in and gates shut. The next day he couldn't walk so we went into the doctor. His ankle had been dislocated but after x-rays and no bones broken he was sent to a specialist and MRI. Their verdict was torn ligaments and tendons on both sides of the foot and bone bruising, so no weight on the foot for three weeks, and hope it starts to heal.
