On the mend

We've had a busy last two weeks and just when we thought things were settling down, Regan threw us for a loop! Mom got a call from daycare on Tuesday afternoon saying before nap, they were "jumping into pillows" and Regan hurt her leg or ankle and was now unable to stand or walk on it. Unlike most first time parents, we opted to keep her at home for the evening and not rush into the ER. The next morning she still couldn't walk on it so we called the doctor and were told to bring her in for xrays as it could most certainly be a toddler break. Apparently that's how children break their very limber bones, not a clean break like adults. Thankfully the xrays came back negative and it's most likely a sprain or a pulled muscle somewhere, unfortunately we aren't sure where! She's able to limp around and tonight even ran for the first time so she's obviously on the mend! She was such a trooper at the doctor and sat so nicely while they took pictures of her leg (aka: xrays); maybe it helped that mom told her to "say cheese"! I'm sure it won't be our last visit to the doctor for xrays, she's a little gymnast these days.
