~sigh~
Alyson's dad just dropped her off.
Late yesterday, she pulled down a heavy lead glass shelf at his house and it fell on her right foot, pinning it.
When he lifted it off, he was relieved to see it wasn't cut - but an hour later it swelled up and that's when he called me.
I wanted him to bring her home, but he insisted on taking her to the hospital - so I gave him the insurance info.
Long story short, she has a hairline facture on the top of her foot, right above where the toes meet the foot. She's in a splint and I've got to take her to the pediatrician tomorrow for a follow-up.
Poor baby. She looks so pathetic limping around with that foot all wrapped up. :-(
And the timing couldn't be worse. She is supposed to start day care tomorrow and with no one else to watch her, I don't know what I am going to do.
I'm so frustrated and upset over it since it means I'll probably have to take more time off of work. And I'm worried about it affecting my employment.
~fret~
Hopefully it will heal quick.
Murphy's law is alive and well. *smiles*
((((Ruthy))))
Ruthie: sorry to hear bout the little one's foot. We would bet its got to hurt. Hope all turns out well with doctor and the time off. OB & LSA
Oh, Bless her little heart, and foot! Hope she gets better really soon. Is she not able to get around on that foot right now?
Kids heal quick and it shouldn't affect her tomorrow, I wouldn't think.... Builds character... ;~D
*owwie!!* Hugs to her and prayers for a speedy recovery!
