Last night on the way home from work, I got a call from Michele telling me that when she was leaving the grocery store with the kids, Brinley hurt her foot. Turns out that Keegan accidentally ran over her foot with the full grocery cart when she suddenly stopped in front of him on the way out of the store. When I got home we decided that I needed to take her to the emergency room because of the fact that she was not willing or able to stand on the foot and she was very fussy. So that’s what I did. And I am glad I did because it turns out that her foot is broken in two different places. She handled things very well until late last night, when she woke up and began many long hours of crying, fussing, and general crabbiness that kept me awake all night long. Most of the time she was inconsolable and she was in a lot of pain, poor thing. We had been given tylenol with codeine to give her to relieve the pain but it didn’t seem to be effective after a few hours. This morning I took her to an orthopedic surgeon to review the x-rays and he confirmed the fractures and said that she would probably heal within a few weeks. In the meantime, she isn’t allowed to walk, and there aren’t crutches small enough for her, so that means that Michele and I need to carry her around. We’re pretty tired out. Hopefully tonight will be better than last night. I don’t know if I can take another night like that.
