our first fall

I'll start by posting these very sweet pictures of my very sweet little girl.....


pretty sure she is giving me the stink eye here


So...last week we were at the mall playing on the indoor soft play area....let me emphasize the word "soft" here. Madeline tumbled off a seating area that, I swear, could not have been more that 6 inches off the ground....but... some how she managed to twist her little ankle on her way down from that huge fall.
After I clapped in hopes that she would rebound without any tears from her fall, I realized that she was really hurt. So I scooped her up and we ended up at the emergency room. I will apologize now for the lack of pictures, but all I had was my phone and I still haven't figured out how to get those to my computer:)
After 2 sets of x-rays and 5 hours we left with no more info than we came in with...so frustrating.
The following Monday we headed to our pediatrician and were told to go to an Orthopedist. There, we were told there was no significant injury and that it was just probably sprained.
So.....my little angle now has a tiny little splint on her left leg. She is doing so well with and with out it, but she is hesitant when it is not on so we tend to just let her wear it.
Again, I haven't taken any pictures of the leg, but..here are a few just because she is so darn cute:)

you can kinda see it in this picture

waiting in the dr.'s office



I am so grateful that she is on the mend and that it wasn't anything worse.
