Ellie broke both her tibia and fibula this past weekend : (
Our mall has a play area with large zoo animals for kids to climb on and we stopped to play for a bit at the end of a shopping trip on Friday evening. As Ellie will say, "she jumped off of a panda's neck" and landed on the seating surrounding the play area. She wouldn't walk on her leg, so I carried her out of the mall and headed to our hospital's pediatric urgent care. I knew she was hurt, but was shocked when the x-ray came back with two broken bones! We are hoping for a good prognosis when we go to the orthopedic doctor on Monday!
She was pretty uncomfortable and upset over the weekend. I took several pictures of her after they put on her cast before I got to the one above where she doesn't look quite so miserable. However, yesterday she was in a much happier mood as her pain eased, she began to figure out how to get herself around, and friends began visiting to wish her well and sign her cast.
It's great that she has a built-in friend to keep her company : ) They've had fun playing together with the activities that her friends have brought by to help keep her busy.
She has become quite good at using this little walker to get herself around!
