Kates Broken ankle!

Last Fri. Kate went over to her friends house for a birthday party. She was having such a fun time that is until she went out to jump on the tramp. I hate trampolines, they are so dangerous. (Yes, we have one, but I want to get ride of it!) Anyway, she was jumping with her little friends when the birthday girls dad got on to play and jump with the girls. He bounced Katelyn and she came down on another little girl and her ankle rolled underneath her. Her ankle immediately swelled up to the size of a baseball on the side of her foot. That is not a call a mother wants to get! I took her to the insta-care, it being late on a Fri. night of course! They took ex rays and because it was so swollen the doctor couldn't tell if it was broken. He was concerned because it looked like it was injured on the growth plate. So, we got the call today from an orthopedic doctor that looked at the ex ray and wanted to see her today. Needless to say it is broken right on the growth plate. Instead of a cast she has a big black boot to wear for the next 6-8 weeks. She will be getting ex rays the next couple of weeks to make sure it is healing right. She has been such a trooper! I think she must have a real high tolerance to pain. Say NO to trampolines!!
