| Well, no pictures for today. My life has been absolutely crazy this week. Today began with a half a cup of coffee, a shower and getting Madeleine dressed and ready to go to her orthopedic appointment this morning. I haven't had to choose clothing and dress any of my kids for years. I laughed as we hustled out the door as we were running late for her appointment. This was very reminiscent of getting my kids up and out the door when they were little. I was more organized for this kind of thing in those days.
Madeleine's appointment went well. It looks like she is going to have surgery on Tuesday to repair her break so that she heals well. This was a surprise to all of us. They will put a plate and screws in to stabilize the bone. This should make her rehabilitation a bit easier and shorter. Poor baby..
The crutches are quite a work-out. Madeleine was winded and exhausted after going from the car to in the entrance of the medical office building. She tried to wear her backpack from the car to the store while using her crutches this morning and had a difficult time finding her center of balance. We haven't mastered stairs using crutches. I think with all of our outings today - we have really woken up to what a challenge the next several weeks are going to be.
It is now 10:59 and I am exhausted and I am heading off to bed. What will tomorrow bring? |
