Poor Avery!

broken leg xray [2]

Avery started her day with a lazy morning at home waiting to go to the dentist at 9:30  You see she had broken one of her molars over the weekend and was going to get it fixed today.  The dentist was fast and she made it to school in time for recess at 10:30.  She got some school work done and went to lunch.  At lunch recess she climbed to the very tippy top of the ropes (whatever those are!) and was looking for her friend when the bell rang.  She started her descent, and then suddenly she was on the ground and couldn’t walk.  The playground duty wheeled her to the office on a chair with wheels, where she cried and cried.  The secretary called and mom came.  It was 12:15.  This kid will do anything to get out of school!

Just kidding…she was seriously in a lot of pain.  I had no idea what I was going to find when I got to the school.  I thought first, maybe this is just Avery being her usually dramatic self, but after a quick prayer in the car and trying to make her walk in the office and her crumbling to the floor, I knew we had something more.  Off to Insta-Care. 2 hours later…Yep, it’s broken!

Now we are home with leg elevated & splinted and awaiting the cast (or boot) on Thursday!

That is so sad. I hope that she gets better fast and at least it happened before summer. Hey I hope you guys are doing good it's been forever since I've talked to you.
