It's a fracture

[gyllenhaalic]

We just got a call back from the nurse. It's a fracture in her tibia in the proxmal end which would explain why her knee was/is swollen. So my baby girl is getting her first - and hopefully last - cast. I need to start looking for a kit to scrap cast pictures with. :p Oh, and thank you again for all the P&PT. I'm so glad it's a fracture and not a torn ACL.

Oh good! I'm so glad it's not something more serious!

I'm glad it was a broken bone instead of the ACL. Benjamin broke his when he was almost3, 3 weeks later it was healed so well, the doctors couldn't find the spot on the xray LOL. I'm sure she'll heal quickly!

Casts suck, dude. Abby broke her foot and was in one for 4 weeks or so... ugh. I'm SO glad it was not her ACL!!!!!!!

[rochelle789]

That's good news, relatively speaking of course. She'll probably think the cast is cool. :)

[my3hens]

Awww glad to hear that its not her ACL! Sorry about the cast but im sure she will heal in no time!

[Julie Billingsley]

((hugs)) aww... poor baby! :( Hope the time in the cast goes quickly!

[meems]

poor kiddo, glad it wasn't more serious. hope she heals quickly!

[gyllenhaalic]

Thanks, girls! I'm actually relieved that it's a fracture and not a torn ACL. We're going to see if she can get a pink cast and we'll get all her cousins and friends to sign it.

[my4boys]

That is great news...I am sure she will have fun having everyone sign her cast and stuff....Sending quick healing wishes your way...

[Becca Bonneville]

Glad to hear it wasn't her ACL! Can't wait to see the LOs with the cast!! LOL!!

[DawnMarch]

Ouch! Hope she recovers quickly and that the cast isn't too hard to bear!

[twentytinytoes]

well that is much better, but still no fun! Although the scrap pages i am sure will be adorable!!

[Angie4b1g]

OUCH!!! Do they have cool colors of casts at least?? Maybe you can match a kit? :p

[cheltzey]

So glad it wasn't the ACL! Not that this is goingto be any fun, but she's still little, so it might have some attraction!

[lisarose]

oooh a pink cast sounds fun! Glad it wasn't the ACL and hopefully she recovers from it quickly :)

[pbumbaca]

Well I guess that's good news! Unfortunately she has a broken bone but kids heal so quickly and an ACL tear would not be as easy to fix. My DS broke his Fibula when he was a year old and only had to wear a cast for 2 weeks. Pink will be very cute. I hope she's feeling better soon!

[Melissa Bennett]

Oh my gosh, poor baby. I hope she heals soon!!

[amandabarugh]

Awww... poor baby girl! I hope she feels better soon!

[tuneskids]

hope it mends quickly!!

[mrs_jb]

Oh that's good thst it's not a torn ACL, but of course it's a shame it's a fracture! Hope they can do pink for her!

[crecia27]

poor gal! I hope its not too terribly uncomfortable for her

[~Julie~]

Im glad its not a torn ACL.. I hope she heals quickly!

[Kat Stokes]

So glad it's not a torn ACL!!! Derrick had a cast when he was 3 and he thought it was the best thing ever - and he picked red because it matched dad's firetruck. LOL! Pink would be perfect for her!!!

[scrappychic]

Hope she gets well soon! That must hurt! :(
