Broken Brinlee!

Oh wow! A lot has been going on here! But the main thing that has kept me busy, besides Christmas is this little fart! Poor Brinlee was playing out at recess and a boy jumped off the monkey bars and landed on her. That was THE worst phone call to get from the school. We rushed to the doctors where they confirmed it was indeed broken and that he thought it needed a pin to hold it. It was a spiral fracture in her right tibia. I did freak out a little at that point....My mom and dad came with me to the orthopedic where he decided to just cast it. She lucked out! So she will be in a cast for a LONG time with absolutely NO weight bearing. She is in a wheelchair, and to look at breaks my heart! So far it has been 3 weeks, (almost 4) and she is in a full leg cast. We are hoping  that on Tuesday on her next appointment she will get a shorter cast. But we know she will be in a cast for at least the another 4-6 wks. Poor girl!!! But through it all she has been SO good. She doesn't ever complain (unlike her mother!) and is getting pretty good at getting around in her wheelchair! I have no doubt that she will be doing wheelies in it by the time we are done with the dumb thing!
