Sprain Pain

Last night, Val and Emi were bored, so they decided to play soccer in the front yard, with a volleyball. We have a small hole in the yard, that the kids call the Evil Hole. Val tripped, stepped into the hole, and fell. She was hobbling in, and hurting pretty bad, so we iced the ankle with brussel sprouts, on and off. We had her get up to walk on it, and she almost fell over. Thank goodness for Emily, who caught her. So, we decided to take her to the ER, and see what was up.
That was at 7:00. At 9:00 they finally called her back. There were a LOT of kids there last night. Mark took Val back, and I stayed in the waiting room, answering phone calls and texts.
Around about 10:00 my dad called for an update. Then, he just showed up, and took Emi to his house,so she could get some sleep for school today. We had a lot of very kind offers to come and sit with us, or pick up Emily, and they were all very nice.
So, we left around 11:30. Then, we had to go get the crutches. We decided to go to Walgreens because it is right next door, and buy a set, knowing that Emily is a constant accident waiting to happen, we will see if that pays off.
So, it is after midnight, and we are home now.I slept with Val, in case she needed anything, which she did around 2:00 am, she flipped and kicked the wall on accident. That was not pretty! I stayed up, gave her ibuprofen, put the brussel sprouts back on, talked to her, calmed her down, went back to sleep.
Got up at 5:00.
Tired!
Anyways, she did pretty good at school today.They gave her an elevator key, and she gets to have different kids leave class early, and help her with her books. She had a pretty good day.
Now she just has to start putting weight on it....
