A few weekends ago our Havurah got together at Jump Time and lunch at Chicago Connection. Jump Time was a blast. Even the parents joined in. While at Jump Time something happened to Piper's left leg. She was crying and refused to walk on it. We deciding that we needed to take her to get an x-ray of her leg. When we got in the car she started telling us the other leg was the one that hurt her. So at that point we thought, Piper is making things up and decided not to take her. We headed to Chicago Connection for lunch with everyone and when I went to take Piper to the bathroom she would not walk. Not even 2 feet. At that point we decided we needed to get an x-ray of her leg. Since it was a Sunday afternoon her doctor's office was closed so we went to Primary Health. At Primary Healthy they took an x-ray of her leg and said everything looked fine. On Monday I took Piper to school and got a call about an hour later saying that she was crying and crawling around the classroom because it hurt to walk. At that point I went to her doctors office to see what they thought. Dr. Shaffer (Dr. Booth doesn't work on Monday) thought that it was likely the lower leg not the upper leg. The upper leg was the part that we had already had an x-ray of. Since she was starting to walk on her leg we decided instead of having another x-ray (this time of the lower leg) we would give it a few days to see if it got better. The moral of the story is that her leg got better and she made it to school on Tuesday.
I think really what happened is that she did hurt her leg but that while some time (~48 hours) it did get better. I'm so relieved that she didn't actually break her leg. I can't even imagine what our lives would be like with a 2 1/2 year old that can't walk. Since I hate to post without photos I have added a few that were taken over the last month or so. Enjoy.
