Well that didn't go as well as expected

[przed]

Just got back from a visit to the emergency room in Sault Ste. Marie. We're here visiting Don's family mostly but stopped in tonight to see a cousin of mine and his family. He has two girls, 3 and 6, and they all seemed to be getting along well. We thought nothing of it when the girls took off to their bedroom with Ros,not realizing there was a bunkbed. The next thing we know there's a thud, and Ros is hysterical and we're on our way to hospital.

The doctor was very nice,and couldn't see a break in the x-rays, but put a cast on Ros' foot anyway because there might be a break in a bone plate(one of the still forming sections of bone in a little kid's body which unfortunately doesn't show up in x-rays.)

It's going to be an interesting 5 days keeping Ros from walking on the cast until we can see her doctor. Tomorrow ww're going to try and track down a set of mini crutches so she can be a little mobile.

Oy! I just saw this now. I hope the little one is on the mend.

And that this hasn't given her a lifelong fear of bunkbeds! :-)

She's still in the cast, but seems okay otherwise. We're just waiting for an appointment with the ortho clinic so they can do a proper assessment. Oy, indeed.

I doubt it'll slow down her climbing any, though. I took her to the park this afternoon, and she wanted me to take her to the monkey bars. Needless to say, I didn't, though I did let her hang from the rings for a bit.
