Poor Caemlyn
We took our family Christmas card picture Saturday afternoon, then we all went to the park sledding. Caemlyn had told me she could sled standing, so being the foolish parents we are, we encouraged her to do it so we could see. It was a tiny hill and she was doing fine, but ended up falling. Instead of falling on her rear, she stepped off and twisted as she fell. Long story short, she broke her tibia in a rather impressive spiral fracture. Thank goodness her growth plate wasn’t affected and everything stayed straight enough that she doesn’t need surgery. She got a splint in the ER, and I took her down to the Ortho in Espanola this morning for her full cast.
Kinda puts a damper on Christmas vacation activities with Grandma and Grandpa and cousins in California. Flying logistics will be interesting, to say the least.
Any ideas on decorating her cast for Christmas? She didn’t get to choose a color, just got boring white. I suggested getting a big, red sharpie and turning it into a candy cane. Oh, we could also use clothing suggestions, as she’ll likely be in a cast for the next couple of months.
