Well, the first question people ask is "What happened?" But we really don't know. Liliana was showing signs of favoring her left leg last week. She did take a tumble, but just fell to a sitting position one night about a week ago. She was crying a lot but we thought she was just scared. When the crying wouldn't stop, we took her to the walk-in hours at our pediatrician (you can walk in up to 9 pm!) The x-ray was closed for the night, so they gave her some motrin, said maybe it was just twisted and inflammed and to come back the next day if she still seemed in pain. Over the next few days, she seemed fine...still favoring the left leg, but able to crawl and pull herself up. At her physical yesterday, the doctor examined it and ordered and X-ray, she then referred us to a specialist and they confirmed this evening that Liliana has a fractured tibia. She will have this cast on for three weeks....
Here she is trying to figure out what exactly happened to her leg...
She is able to crawl a bit, but not as well, and she gets easily frustrated.
She was very good tonight as they put the cast on, and now that she is home, she seems fine...a little less mobile..but ok. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and inquiries....
