amy g. Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 She SCREAMED all night, and didn't sleep for more than 5 minutes at a time. Today, we took her to the pediatric orthopedist. He said the break is no big deal. They are common, and called Toddler Fractures. It will heal on it's own in a few weeks. He had people frantically cutting off Miss Happy's splint. The emergency room nurse put an inflexible outer covering on it, and the screaming was because it did not expand as Miss Happy's foot and leg swelled. As a result, she has a pressure sore on her heel that the doctor is afraid may become necrotic and require a skin graft. Oh, and also, my MIL who is under hospice care, quit eating yesterday. I think I need a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amy g. Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks! I'm feeling much better after some pizza and red wine. Miss Happy's foot looks less like a bruise now, and more like a flat blister. I'm considering that a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
