Shaylee's Broken Leg

Shaylee loves to play the doorbell game that Daddy taught her - she rings the doorbell and runs around the side of the house to hide while Mommy opens up the door and is surprised to find that no one is there... Anyway, she was playing this game and through the peephole in the door, Mommy sees Shaylee trip down our little step. She is crying like it hurts - how badly? We don't know. It was almost bed time so we decided we would see how she felt the next day - knowing that we already had her well-check doctor's appointment set for the day after. She cried a good portion of the night and still would not even stand on it the next day. We figured something was wrong. She went in for an x-ray the next day to find that she had broken both her tibia and fibula. So, here she is in his gorgeous pink cast that she gets to wear for just over 4 weeks. The doctor said she would probably still not want to stand or walk on it for another 10 days - Mommy is going to build some great muscles carrying Shaylee and Malachi everywhere... We are praying it all heals well!

We may have to come and visit you (or vice versa) to help the next 10 days pass! I have a computer game or two she can try too... although they are difficult enough to do that they take parent help every minute. Online coloring books are easier. :-)
