Addison's OWIE!!

Last Tuesday I got a call from Addison's babysitter saying that she had hurt her ankle somehow. She wouldn't put any weight on her right ankle after she woke up from her nap, and it seemed to really be bothering her. So I headed out of work to pick her up and take her to the Doctor. The babysitter didn't really have any idea how she would have hurt her leg, she did remember another little girl falling on Addison earlier in the day but that was it. We thought maybe she just had a cramp in her leg or something from her nap. Never-the-less we went to the Doctor to get it checked out. After the Doctor looked at her we went and had x-rays taken of it and to our SURPRISE it was BROKEN!! We couldn't believe it!! The Doctor could only put a "soft cast" on it that night, needless to say Addison had that off her leg by 8:00 that night! We then went and saw the Orthopedic surgeon the next day to get on a plaster cast so she could still move around and also so it wouldn't fall off!! The Doctor thinks she may have the cast on for a month or so. The worst part of the whole thing is NO BATH!! Back to the old sponge bath, which after playing in the tub for at least 20-30 minutes every night is a BIG bummer!! We go back to the Orthopedic Surgeon this week on Thursday to have them check her cast to see if it needs re-enforced!! They think she may go through the casts quickly crawling and playing on them. The good news is that they said maybe after a week they could put a fiberglass cast on which would mean we might be able to give her a bath, but we will see!! I am happy with the one she has now, I am sure just because I don't want to see them saw off the cast she has on now to put a new one on!!! We will keep you posted! Here are some pictures of our little trooper, who has been very very brave and surprisingly happy through most of this tragedy!! The first picture shows how she is able to get up on her knees and play still (with the pacifier upside down)!!

This is Addison's SAD face!! Isn't she just adorable??
This is our little model!! Strike a pose!!
I am not very sure what she is doing here...her new favorite thing is pointing!!Play, Play, Playing!!!

Until next time!!
