Don, Summer and I spent the better part of the afternoon at the Ortho Clinic. Don showed up well prepared; cooler full of snacks and drinks.
Summer had a repeat X-ray and a consult with the Orthopod. He cut the splint off that the Emerg Dr. had put on yesterday to see how tender she was.
The X-ray did not reveal a fracture. Summer was decidedly shy and very emotional as she did not sleep very well last night. We are all in need of a good night sleep.
The Dr. recommended that we keep the splint on for two weeks and come back for a re-check. This is the best possible news for us.
In two weeks they may be able to see more on the X-ray if the bone starts to calcify around a hairline fracture. Otherwise, it may be a bruise and sprain.
Don will be staying home with Summer for the rest of the week and plenty of rest is on the agenda.
We may have to rent some movies for Summer. Don and I are at our limit of watching Toy Story 2 and Franklin’s Turtle Lake.
we are so sorry Summer hurt her leg, she's the toughest little girl we know and we are hoping for the best for her. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know.
ReplyDeleteMuch love Dan, Patti, Olivia and Sawyer.
sounds like good news - sorta, not sure how easy it will be to keep this little girl quiet and at rest!
ReplyDeleteWe will be following the blog - leaving tomorrow - yea!
Sorry to hear you guys are going through this. Eric did this to his foot. The next day we got x-rays and they didn't see a break. He was in so much pain. I had to carry him around for a very long week. I sure hope Summer feels better soon.

ReplyDeletePoor Summer! Give her a huge hug for us! I can't recommend any kids movies, too far removed from that now, sadly! Time for grandkids I guess.
