Ok so Wednesday big A goes to dance class (moved from Monday for the holiday) and she comes home and decides to practice in her socks on our hardwood floor. BOOM, AAAHHHHGGGG!, sobbing... what's wrong? I run in and she's on the floor crying and can't walk. We move her to the couch and check it out. Not swelling, no bones sticking out. Ok so we ice it and send her to bed. Thursday she's walking, sort of, on it so we send her to school. She's still complaining after school so we schedule a doc appointment for Friday.
Still thinking it's a sprain I have her leave her stuff at school, we'd be back soon right? Nope... doc orders x-rays, and when the tech comes to talk to us she's got the travel envelope, oh no, I've been a bad mommy! Off to the ortho for a cast and 4 hours later we finally make it to the in-laws to get the rest of the kids. Ya we were at the doc offices for so long all her stuff is still at school, and my MIL had to get the kids for me.
So her cast is purple (love the color) they let her keep her toes open (originally they were going to cover them!). She's got to keep it on for 4 weeks. We had a scout program that night so I had to call the other adults that I was working with and let them know we'd be late. She decided that she wasn't going to let this stop her from going either since the program was inside.
A little cast never stopped anyone... Of course being that this is the second cast in 2 months... I'm wondering if she's going to take after her father and break a bone or 3 in every limb!
