Last night at basketball practice, one of Em’s teammates stepped on her foot and then Emily rolled her foot. Her foot immediately swelled up. Once we got home we propped up her foot, put some ice on it, and popped a few ibuprofen!
This morning Emily could not put any weight on her foot so Ron stayed home with her for the day while I went to work. This is what she looked like when I left for work.
I was completely worried the entire morning and didn’t get much work accomplished. I made an appointment for Emily with her pediatrician. She received the diagnosis we figured she would get…sprained ankle. The doctor wrapped her ankle and sent is on our way.
Oh and in case you care, I almost passed out at Emily’s doctor’s appt. The doctor was twisting and turning her foot and Emily was wincing. It was more than I could take. That’s the reason I could never become a nurse!!!
Emily has been gimping around the house this evening. She said it feels a lot better since the doctor wrapped it. I still get that “yicky” feeling in my stomach when she tries to put weight on her foot but hopefully that will get better along with her ankle!!!
Disregard the pile of pillows and blankets on the couch. This was Em’s bed for most of today!
