The title of this one is self explanatory and many of you may already know this, but I thought I would share some pictures.
Yesterday, 1/4/2010, Kathy and Kara were at the park. Kara wanted to go down this big steep slide and Kathy told her no. She was going to do it anyway, so Kathy climbed up to the top of the slide and took her down a less intimidating slide together. Kara was kicking and screaming the whole way down and when they got to the bottom of the slide, Kara managed to get her foot stuck under Kathy and it bent backwards. Kathy thought she was just mad but quickly realized that something was wrong because she just wanted to be held and wouldn't put any weight on her leg.
Kathy called her pediatrician and then took her to the urgent care clinic. They took some X-rays and it turned out she had a mid-tibia fracture.
We then made our way over to Dell Children's Hospital to the ER so they could put a cast on it. Luckily for us, it was a really efficient and fast visit. After some talks with nurses explaining how she got hurt, talking with a social worker about how Kathy abuses Kara, and getting a temporary cast, we were out of there in 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly fast for an ER, we were impressed. Other than the first waiting room experience which was a germ infested cesspool, Dell Children's did a good job.
Tomorrow, Kara goes in for her real cast. We're not sure how long she'll have to wear it, but I'm sure it's not going to be a fun experience. I'll keep ya updated!
