temporary splint until we could get to the orthopedist
Fallie got the okay to stop wearing the fracture boot yesterday. Her foot stopped hurting almost a week ago so it seems to be healed (doctor confirmed with x-rays and examination of course). Whether it was broken or sprained*, she didn’t slow down while wearing the splint or the boot and I cringed every time she skipped or jumped on her injured foot (which was quite often).
*You would think that a fracture would be easy to diagnose but we have learned after 10 broken bones (and two sprains) that they are not always easy to see on x-rays.

homemade slime
The only way I have been able to get this girl to stop running and jumping and be still so she can rest her broken foot is to let her play with slime. We did not make slime at her sister’s birthday party because there were way too many kids. The recipe really works and Fallie quickly became obsessed with her slime. She played with it for over an hour and I actually captured her smile in photos!
old one foot*
I took Fallie to the urgent care facility today. She has been limping on and off for a week but yesterday her foot looked swollen and it was hurting in a different place than originally described. Holy crap! How can you run around on a broken foot? How can you run around with TWO broken bones in your foot?! She has a splint until we can get in to see the pediatric orthopedist.
*She still has two feet but only one is working so we have brought back her old nickname.
