One rough day at the park leads to X-rays...

yesterday we were at the park practicing for our cabbage ball game. when we were done and standing around talking, Everly started throwing a ball down the sidewalk and incline to me and then i would throw it back a little way for her to get. unfortunately, she was leaning down at the edge of the sidewalk and fell head first onto the cement. Ow! She was scratched up and upset, so mommy thought it would be good to go to the playground.

Ev loves to slide, and we didn't have much time so we headed up the playground for one quick slide. she slipped again and fell, just upsetting her more. so i grabbed her and headed down the slide. now, this slide was really fast, which scared me a little bit since she was on my lap, and Ev's foot accidently got caught between me and the slide as we went down. It yanked her foot back really quick and she started crying again. I knew it had probably hurt her, but I thought she was more just still upset from falling and probably ready for a nap. When we got home I told Aaron to put her down to make sure she could walk on her foot since and she couldn't! it was such a sad sight seeing my baby limp and cry! I wanted to go to the Urgent Care in town right away, but Aaron thought it would be better to give her a bath, eat dinner, etc.

So, we had our game at 10:30 last night and Everly was spending the night at our counselors home since it was a late game. We thought we'd wait until the morning since her foot didn't swell up or anything, but she still wasn't walking on it. This morning was the same so we called the Dr. and she had us go to Children's Hospital here to have x-rays done. No visible fracture, though they said it could appear in a couple days (baby's are a little different, or maybe the x-ray just didn't catch it). So, now we're just waiting, watching to see if she will try to stand on it, and giving Ibuprofen. Hopefully it's nothing. Please pray that our little one will heal soon so she can run around again!
