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.
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.
found: skull girls ring
Fallie found this awesome ring somewhere outside while at school. She said she might wear it Trick or Treating but she put it on this morning and won’t take it off until I make her.
