Weekend Recap

Well it was an odd weekend for us.

Friday Ally was complaining that her wrist hurt. It was swollen and hurt to move it. She iced it off and on at school and couldn't write. By the time I called the doctor Friday evening we had to take a Saturday appointment.

A friend gave us a foot bath for Ally's feet. She tried that out on Friday night. 

Becky went to a game night at a friend's house and Ally and I watched "say yes to the dress" for a while before bed.

Saturday we went to the pediatrician. It was a long wait, as weekend appointment usually are, the doctor had her wrist X-rayed, there was no fracture she asked that if it still hurt on Monday we call our regular pediatrician and go see the orthopedist.

We texted this picture of us waiting for X-ray to Becky.

We were home about 2 hours after we left home.

About 90 minutes after we got home, ally started crying that it hurt so much. She said the pain was a 10, she couldn't focus and was hysterical. So Becky and I took her to our local emergency room. 

At the ER they rechecked her X-ray. Our pediatrician office is in the same building as the hospital so it's the same radiology. The ER doc confirmed it wasn't broken but he put her wrist in a splint and told us to keep her medicated with ibuprofen and acetaminophen. She said the paid was about an 8. They said we have to keep the splint on until we see an orthopedist.

The Sports Medicine Clinic at Children's where Ally's orthopedist is opens at 7am so I will call then and try to get an appointment tomorrow.

It made for a difficult Saturday.

Today I had a mamogram. While I got that done Ally and Becky made a movie with the dolls.

The set.

Becky was an amazing cinematographer shooting around cat Carl, and so patient with director Ally.

Then the 3 of us went to the mall, ran a few errands and visited the American Girl Store.

Ally got a new doll, meet Amanda! She looks just like Ally, and Ally picked out her name. This is a selfie Ally took of them in her room and texted it to me. 

I almost cried when she showed us Amanda's balance beam routine that Ally made up. She even elevated the beam. 

The incredible Ally. She is in so much pain but still has her sunny disposition and is always ready with a smile for my camera.
