Our First Emergency Room Visit

Nobody loves an emergency room visit. Now we know why personally. Last week we had to go to Children's Mercy because Sweets fell at the park and fractured her left femur (thigh bone). They kept us overnight so they could put a Spica cast on her (which has to been done in the operating room with a live x-ray to make sure the bone stays in place.) It is a typical casting for a femur brake in young children. The procedure was a success and Sweets recovered great. Children are so resilient and adaptable. Sweets is handling this all very well and already trying to figure out how to move in the cast.



On Tuesday, we followed up with the Orthopedic. The bone is healing well and she will only have to stay in the cast 4 weeks (rather than the 6 they thought originally). After the cast is removed we will follow up with a few specialists because of something the Orthopedic saw in her x-ray. (Many of you know we've been seeking medical advice about her delayed walking.) We will keep updating here as she's healing. We are confident the Lord will take care of us. (Psalm 112:7). We appreciate prayers for a quick recovery.

P.S. I am not a blogger so we'll see how this blogging goes :)
