Or rather, a tiny fracture or two ~
Our littlest one was practicing her high jumps from the loft ladder to the couch (we've had many cloudy/rainy days here lately) only about 4 feet from the ground but, high enough to fracture 2 metatarsals in her right foot when she slipped and landed on the floor rather than on said couch...
This little energy sprite, the most active of the bunch, is now crawling about the house and needed to be carried much of yesterday (when this happened) and today. Mishap that it is, I have seen the shining light of a few blessings in this ~ more cuddle time, more time to sit and talk one on one in those long hospital and doctor's office waits and more opportunities for reading books, playing games and, in general, a bit of a slower pace - for a little while. Only about 3 weeks and she will be tearing loose again...I'll enjoy this little break while I can while I also look forward to seeing her free spirit running wild again soon ~
Aw Kell! I am so sorry to hear of your sweet darlin's unfortunate mishap..:( Love the PINKIE PINK cast, though. Hope you all on are the mend soon. Sending love and light. Love, Becca
ReplyDeleteAwww...that's too bad. It's something about those rainy days, I think. We have a friend here that recently thought it would be okay to use mom's rotary cutter. The end of his finger is gone and *might* grow back and no ocean swimming until mid-July. No swimming in the lake with a cast, I'm guessing. Bummer. Glad she's okay and it wasn't worse. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks mamas :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully they have her a waterproof cast so she can actually swim - yaye! Just a couple of weeks to go and she will be climbing and jumping again ;)
