Another Emergency Room

If you didn't read yesterday's blog about me going to the ER, read the previous blog first!

I had a very, very rough night last night. I cried and screamed all night long in pain. This morning mom wanted to get a second opinion. Mom called my regular doctor, who told us to take me to the ER downtown at Texas Children's Hospital, the same hospital that took care of me when I had my first pneumonia. So we packed our bags just in case and headed down there. I was in a lot better spirits this afternoon.

We spent the whole day back in another hospital. I still will not walk, but they could move my legs and hips more. I was doing really, really good with the potty, but this injury has caused my diaper to go back on. I hope I can get back to normal soon.

They ordered more X-rays. I liked wheeling around in the wheel chair. My baby (Pooh Bear) liked it too.

After a lot more testing, they said that my hip is perfectly fine. Praise God! And thank you Texas Children's Hospital! The other hospital was wrong. Note to self, next time we just need to always head straight to Texas Children's Hospital! They know their stuff!

They said it isn't my hip, but that I do have a fracture of the Tibia just below the knee. I kept telling everyone it was my knee and not my hip. It does not affect the growth plate and since it isn't the hip as previously diagnosed, no surgery is needed. They wrapped me up in a splint till I go to the Texas Children's Orthopedic doctor this week for a cast. I got to choose my color for the split, purple!! I was a real trooper!

At home I am all set up on the couch. My parents bought some stickers and coloring things to do on the couch. I am going to be on the couch a lot for a while. They do not make crutches for my age -so how old was Tiny Tim?

Mom painted my toes for the first time tonight. I liked it, and said that it tickled. They look pretty!
