Cast Off!

Well, the cast came off yesturday, one week early. K walked around way too much this past weekend and her heal started hurting something fierce. Not what her doctor wanted to hear, so off it came. It's just a bruise, so she's on cruches for a week and then we'll see what happens.

K was exhausted after the trip to the doctor and fell asleep under the new blanket her best friend/big buddy's grandma and grandpa made her. Needless to say, she loves it.

Gravel playground + Leg cast = Not a good thing Martha.

K went was back at school 30 minutes after she got her cast put on. I said she could go home, the doctor said she could go home, the school nurse/secretary/angel among us said she could go home, her teacher said she could go home. Nope, the Thanksgiving feast was that afternoon and she wanted to be there. They were singing. She could not miss the singing.

So she went at school, and the class went out for recess. The playground is covered with tiny little stones, she loves to swing, need I say more.

I spent quite a bit of time this weekend making cast covers in varying materials and designs. Here's her favorite.

The fleece is a bit hot, but stays up without elastic and feels nice and soft.

She's signed up for soccer in the spring. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

K's latest adventure

Bad sprain, maybe a small fracture. Off in three weeks.
