A little backstory.. she fell down the stairs, I took her to urgent care, they did an xray and said all is well. Put her in a aircast and gave her crutches and told us to followup with her doc. Fast forward to today and she still can't walk on it without pain, so she continues to use crutches.
Back to today. Dr Danny did an xray in his office and showed me the fracture on her growth plate. It doesn't look like it will affect her growth at all, but she has to stay off of it. No dance or PE for at least a month. Major bummer. Not a fun diagnosis for my over active girl.
She will stay on crutches at least another week and continue wearing the aircast. In a week, we will try applying more pressure or walking on it and see if it hurts. Followup in three weeks with another xray to see if everything is healed properly.
That it. She gets to start school on crutches. So much for the cute little hobo tote bags she was going to sling over her shoulder with her matching fancy shoes. She's stuck in her new Nike tennis shoes and a backpack. We got notes to excuse her from PE, dance, and to give her enough time to get to her classes since she has 8 periods this year.

my son fractured the growth plate in his ankle in april and he was in a thigh-high cast for 4 weeks and a knee high one for 3 after that, then weeks of physical therapy!!! seems like maybe kam's isnt as bad though...anyway kids heal fast, my son is up and running around just 3 months later.
OH NO, so sorry. Well look at it this way, less dance time, more time with little bro before his big heart day.
Have to believe there are reasons for everything.
Keep smiling Kamryn!
