We are very happy to say that Angie has a cast on her ankle. When we went to the Ortho on Monday and he looked at the x-rays from Thursday he said, this type of fracture (she had a fracture on both the inside and outside of her ankle) usually requires surgery. He then took Angie for a new x-ray and came back and said that she was going to need to have a cast for 5 weeks. I asked what about "surgery" and he said that the bones had not moved at all since the x-rays taken on Thursday so he felt that surgery would not be necessary - Praise the Lord!!!!!!Angie was planning to get an orange cast (not because it's her Mom's favorite color but because it's the hair color of her favorite anime boy - Ichigo), however her pediatric ortho only does the plain off white kind (go figure). It actually worked out quite well because her Youth Pastor, Mr. Elliot is a great artist, and as he has always called her gymnastics - ninja training - he drew this great ninja on her cast with a note that says "ninja school didn't work out". What a hoot!
Needless to say Suzzie is getting a little tired of Angie's new limitations (and so am I to be honest) and so is Angie (as she's really not one to lay around all day), but we're working together and getting through. Dan, Bless his heart, continues his attempts to "toughen her up" when he's at home (which unfortunatly is not that much). Thank you all for your prayers and thank you Carmen for reminding me that I hadn't posted this yet. God Bless you all!
