Kiera and I visited the doctor this morning after her wrestling match with Melia last night. Something happened to her foot, and after sleeping on it she still would not put weight on it. There was no major swelling or bruising, and she only was uncomfortable when I tried to flex it.
I didn't think it was too bad, but would rather be safe than sorry, so we went in and had him look at it. He ordered x-rays to be sure, but I guess young children's feet are mostly cartilage anyway, so the only danger was if the top bone had broken away or splintered.
But, no broken bones. Just a sprain, and she should start walking on it again in the next few days. I put some lavendar on it before nap this afternoon to help with the minor swelling and pain. (Sometimes I am hesitant to use the oils because I don't want to miss the symptoms, so I waited until after we'd had it looked at.) She tried taking a few steps before nap, but then started to wimper, so it is still painful.
In the meantime, she's scooting around on her bottom, crawling on her belly, and in general, being a lot of fun to watch. She's perfectly happy unless it hurts her, so it's kinda nice having her slowed down for a bit! :-)
