No surprise Grace is the first McNeely child to break a bone. Let's see it was a Tuesday night and she was climbing up the slide in our playroom. She decided it was a good idea to go over the top rather than through the whole. I heard her jump into the middle and instantly start crying. Jake was kind enough to replay the entire event. But she was limping a little and not bothered by it after a while, so I figured I will worry about it tomorrow if she is still limping.
Of course, Wednesday morning rolls around and she is still limping...running, but limping. So I take her in to see the doctor. Doctor isn't convinced its broken so she thinks we should make an appointment with the orthopedist for Thursday morning. If she is still limping take her, if not cancel. Fantastic.
Thursday morning she is doing visibly better but her foot is turning in. Not wanting to risk future damage Brian and I think we should go just in case. Now, I had to make a stop at a friends house and while there Grace found the trampoline! Grace is bouncing up and down and I think there is no way that leg is broken.
Well I was right, her leg was not broken. The first bone in her little foot was. I was definitely shocked when the doctor said it was broken. Then she quickly said "no cast! Just a boot for 2 weeks." Crisis averted! But still that sweet little girl had to hobble around with that boot.
But she made it through. We all did! Because she learned quickly how to use that boot as a weapon! 2 weeks later she got a clean bill of health and we chanted "No more boot! No more boot!"
(Well she did have to wear it home because Mommy forgot her other shoe!)
