Out of the blue last night our just turned 2 yo can't bear weight on his right leg. Today is a little better, as he's not sobbing anymore when he tries to put weight on it, but he still can't make it more than a few steps before he grimaces, sits down and grabs his leg. We went to the pedi, and xrays are clear. No swelling, signs of infection, bruising, fever or tenderness when squeezed out moved. His range of motion is totally normal, and when he's sitting he's the usual ants-in-the-pants nonstop movement. He can use the leg totally fine, even to push against the back of my chair in the car and he even got up on his knees and "walked" for a minute. He's in a good mood. But putting full weight on his leg is a no go. We have no idea what happened, fine one minute (and a crazed active toddler at the park earlier that day), "ouch" the next.
The pediatrician said to watch it, and Ibuprofen until then. At his age it's very unlikely a sprain/strain, but not impossible.
But of course we leave for WDW in four days! What do we do if he's still unable to walk much or at all while there? He's huge for his age: 35 lbs of constant motion. So there's no way we can hold him all day for 20-30 minutes in lines for which we don't have FP. Any tips how to make this work? Is there a pass we can get that will let us take our stroller into line? We're not trying to get out of waiting, just wanting to be *able* to do the lines with him. Would I need a doctor's note?
Thank you so much. Between worrying about him and knowing the trip is looming, I'm so nervous.
