Good News!

Katya got a lovely, bright orange cast today (they did not have yellow, so we picked orange, her next favorite). The good news is that if she wants to weight bear on it she can and it will only be on for about 2.5 weeks! Yeah! This is much better than the 6 weeks we were quoted in the ER. The ortho doc was really nice and we got to see the X-ray. The break is very clear, all the way through the bone about in the middle of her tibia. I guess it is more common for this type of break to be lower and if it was the cast could have been below the knee. But since it was a higher break her cast is above her knee. She cried her head off when getting the cast on, mainly because of the guy doing it, who was wearing blue scrubs (everyone in the ER was wearing blue scrubs and she was terrified of them). Katya was in great spirits on the way home, making faces and being our little ham.

Here is a picture of Katya and Reagan doing some tummy time.
