I don’t know what to do… Background: After Amy’s fall last month, she was unable to walk. ER doc said it was fractured. Her doc says it’s not. 4 days later, she still wasn’t weight baring. To give her support, she was casted for 4 weeks. Amy’s cast is supposed Read more…
On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch with the littles. Amy had so much climbing all over the place. Then she went up these stairs to play on the raised platform. But on the way back down, she fell a single step, and cried of pain. We were trying Read more…
It finally happened. I saw Amy crawling towards me, and I thought, “Okay silly girl, what are you up to?” Then I realize, she wasn’t wearing her brace!!! I had to follow her as she crawled back to show me where she’d put it. I’m glad that she felt she Read more…
Who knew? A brace doubles as a kitty bed! Amy’s enjoying some free leg time while her skin gets a break .
Take Teddy’s picture! Back at Shriners again, but if you look close, you’ll see she’s wearing cast #5. The dog peed on the linoleum, and she walked in it. Unbelievable… Anyways, Cast #5 comes off today, and we get Brace #1! It was no one’s surprise that Read more…
We purchased a Dry Pro Cast cover for Amy so she could play in the water during the summer. These things work great! But make sure that you have a good seal! We had so much run running through the water! But I wish the pressure wasn’t so high. The Read more…
Cast #4, complete with “magic sparkles” (glitter). I was politely reminded (with a laugh) that they didn’t want to see us before the 26th. I’m all for that! She has already taken a few steps. Much relieved to see her walking again. Update: Look at her go during lunch! That’s Read more…
Last night was spaghetti night, so afterwards Amy had her bath as usual. Except I must not have checked to make sue that the seal was completely airtight. Because when she came out of the bath, her foot was wet. Great. I looked it up online, and the consensus is, Read more…
So after dealing with tripping and falling, stubbed toes, her shoe flying off and making her fall, and general off-balancedness… Shriners told us to come back. The funny part was that when she called, I had already made the long drive to Sac, and was in the parking garage of Read more…
It’s not that I mind being accidentally kicked with it. I don’t mind being stepped on with her plaster foot. Although I am a little grumpy about her sanding away at my wood chairs. That kinda sucks. She is walking better, so that’s positive! But the way she drags her Read more…
