Sarah Lu will be spending at least the next several weeks walking around with this..
Chayah's old walker has turned out to be so incredibly useful.. especially since they couldn't find crutches little enough for Sarah to be safe using. So walker it is! Which makes Sarah incredibly excited.. she wanted to use it soo bad when Chayah needed it after her surgery and was in her cast last year. Now, Sarah's pretty happy that it's her turn to need the walker.
The other day I mentioned how Sarah hurt her ankle on the stairs when we were at the SCC concert. Well, it kept hurting her. A lot. And she couldn't walk or put any pressure on it, so it was no school and off to the doctor the next morning for Sarah. And what we found out after x-rays? She broke it. Or fractured a bone in her ankle, to be exact.
So for the next several weeks, Sarah will be sporting this cast! She got to pick out the colors herself and picked not one, or two, but three colors! Green, of course, since she has decided it is her new favorite color (although her favorite definitely was purple until just a few weeks ago..). Then white and red, of course, just like a candy cane! Her doctor took the time to wrap it up with all three colors of her choice (after having found every color they had in stock) and made it "pretty" for her. She's pretty proud of it, too!
How she broke is something I've tried to find out, but from what I know, she had been playing on the stairs and then started to fall. She caught herself and kept herself from falling, but she landed on her ankle sideways- fracturing a little ankle bone.
Sarah is doing so well with her new cast though and is getting around great! At school, she can't go out for recess, so her teacher is keeping one friend (a different one each time) from her class to stay in the room with her to play during recess instead..which I'm guessing will be the new fun activity that everyone in first grade will want to be chosen for :)
Sarah is definitely a little trooper and is handling it all so incredibly well! When she found out at the doctor's office that it was broken and then came home and told me, she had the hugest smile on her face and started laughing!! Not too sure I'd be laughing if I broke my ankle, but I'm glad she thinks it's fun and is pretty entertained with the fact that she gets to use the walker now!
