Well I was met in the hall by Nurse Lamb telling me that Taylor Grace had gotten hurt in P.E. jumping hurtles. She said that she was putting ice on it and we would keep an eye on it. At lunch I saw tears and knew that yep, something was wrong. She NEVER cries in front of her classmates unless something is really wrong. I took her back up to the nurse and when she took her shoe off, sure enough, it was swelling. Nurse Lamb said we should take her to have an X-ray made. So another call to Casey at Carolina Ortho. to see about getting us in for an appointment. She got us in right away! (It is good to have connections at the doctor's office.) They took some X-rays and Dr. Schwartz examined her foot. Sure enough it was broken. She picked out a lime green cast. She was so excited to get a cast. BUT what she didn't know was that she had to use crutches and found out what a pain it was to have them. She is being a champ about it at school, but shows her true frustrations with it at home. The biggest disappointment has been not getting in the swimming pool. I ordered a product called Dry Pro that hopefully will get here soon, so that she will be able to swim. Too much torcher for a kid to have a pool in the back yard and watch everyone else enjoy swimming.

Poor Taylor Grace! When the boys told me about her foot, I hoped they were mistaken. She's a trooper!
