No escaping this Friday the 13th!
We made it through the February Friday the 13th with out any trouble, but I think two in a row was just too much for this family the handle. Yesterday, not only were we anxiousely waiting the results of Fitz's Dad's biopcie, but Lilly had her first real injury. During a photo session, Lilly managed to either pull a 8lb weight down on her little left foot or sprained her ankle. What a mess! With a screaming baby in tow, we were off to my Dad's office to get an x-ray and some medical advice. Just my luck, my Dad was in surgery at the hospital and his partner was holding down the office. So in we go, luck for us he has three kids himself, and he kindly looks at her foot, and helps hold her while we take an x-ray. I wish I could put the x-ray online, because it's impressive to see how few bones are in their little feet. Lucky for us, she only significantly bruised her little foot (blunt trauma), but nothing that needed "real" medical attention. We were sent home with two x-rays, and instruction to give her moitrin and try to ice her foot. A bit later, we got a visit from my Dad, and he was very glad to see that even though he got two phone calls at the hospital, her foot was better off then he thought. We managed to ice her foot a few times over the past few days, and by Saturday she was putting weight on her foot, and today she was even taking a few steps. Hopefully, each day we will get better and better; even though the bruise will get worse and worse! On the cancer note, the news was not good, but we are waiting for treatment options and hoping for the best. Please keep Fitz's dad and family in your thoughts or prayers!
