They are not too pleasant.
Not for little Miss Nina
I'm sure you looked at the pictures and figured out the mistery.
It happened on Monday night. Nina and little cousin Lena were playing, chasing each other, and then Nina fell. No one witnessed it, and she could not describe what happened.
All we could tell was that she would not put any weight on her leg. None.
The following day I debated whether to take her to the doctor. I called, but they could not get her in until Wednesday.
Yesterday, I took her to the pediatrician, and they sent us to the hospital for Xrays, and sure enough..... her right shinbone is broken. It's not a bad break, but a break after all.
This afternoon we were finally able to go to the Orthopedic Clinic and Nina got a beautiful PURPLE cast. Just what she wanted!
I have to tell you, she is one tough little girl. She cried hard intitially (after the fall), but ever since then has been so incredibly brave. Even today when she got the cast on.... there was not one tear! All she did was blink her eyes really, really fast, but that was it.
What is going to happen now? The healing process will take about SIX weeks!!!! She can not walk, and the Mama Taxi will kick into high gear.
I think she kind of likes being "princessed" around, but she also get bored not being able to get around. Just a short while ago she laid on the couch, looking at a book. She then took the book, slammed it down on her new cast and muttered, very disgusted, "I can't walk"....
So, please, send your prayers our way, and I will keep you updated on our patient little patient.

WOW!! Bless her little heart! I can't believe that!!! She is such a trooper! You guys are too. I'm praying for you...especially during the next 6 weeks. Hang in there!! We're praying for ya!!

She is just so cute, and the cast makes her even more winsome. My bet is that she will be up to speed by the first part of next week. Sam had a full leg cast at that age, and after the initial fear of hurting himself, nothing slowed him down. Nina's big sister has the most motherly little expression - I can tell that she really treasures her baby sister. YOU are a busy woman!!
Poor Nina. It's a beautiful cast, but six weeks is a long time to be so confined. We will add Nina to our prayer list. (((hugs))) from the Kenward family.
