This evening, just before supper, Brady was sitting on the couch. He got up for a brief moment and when he did, Kenzie took his seat on the couch. When Brady returned he expected his seat back. Instead of asking nicely, he grabbed a hold of Kenzie and pulled her off. She somehow landed with her butt on her ankle. Of course she cried, moaned, groaned and claimed she couldn't walk, etc. The children can be very dramatic at times, so it's often hard to tell if they are truly injured. Kenzie didn't let up and when I took a look at her ankle 15 minutes later, it was indeed swollen and difficult for me to look at. Not only do I not like the site of blood, but grossly swollen ankles as well! Dale called Dr. Rapp, who just so happened to be in the office tonight, and said to bring her right in. From Dr. Rapp's we went to the Hanover Hospital for x-rays. The results were inconclusive. She was told to stay off of it for 48 hours. Dr. Rapp will consult with the radiation doctors and call me sometime tomorrow. Looks like Kenzie's Thanksgiving vacation from school has started early!
Kenzie waits for Dr. Rapp to examine her.
Waiting again. This time for x-rays.

OUCH! Poor Kenzie. I feel her pain. She looks so miserable in those pics. I know, from 1st hand experience how painful those types of injuries are. :(
Poor Kenzie! I hope it heals fast! Ankle injuries are THE WORST!!!
Kenzie, hope you feel better soon! Now for you Mr. Brady.....what are we going to do with you? I think maybe it should be your job to take care of your sister: Make her bed in the morning, help her hobble through the house, do whatever chores she would normally have to do. Just kidding. Lots of hugs might help though. Mistakes happen to us all. Don't feel bad.
