Almost three weeks ago, I received a call at work from the babysitter. Rylee hurt her leg at the park...
So...off to the ER we go. Turns out she broke her leg!!!! It was a "buckle fracture" and is "very common" in children 9 months - 2 years learning to walk. The doctors said that their little bones are so spongy that it doesn't take much to break them. Lovely. So the ER doctors put a temporary stint on her little leg and we made an appointment with a pediatric orthopedic for the next day.
At the Orthopedic, we learned that the cast was going to be a FULL LEG cast. Lovely. But, she would only have to wear it for 2 weeks (YES!).
She actually got around really good in that thing. Sleeping wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world...but she made due. She's really a trooper.
She got the cast off on Thursday and is enjoying sleeping comfortably and playing in the dirt outside...here's a picture before we left for church today. :)
