fun fun fun....

Not really. So I took OldestA to the orthopedic Dr. yesterday. They were able to do the damn examination and feel that the ACL IS probably torn. We'll find out for sure, and anything else that might be wrong in there, on thursday when we go back for them to read the MRI that is being done tomorrow.

If it is torn, they recommend reconstructing it. She's young, active and should not have to deal with an unstable knee the rest of her life. So, though it scares me to death, that would definately be the best route in the long run.

I'll keep you all posted. She's being a butt about keeping it iced and staying OFF it! She can't put any weight on it as it's so painful. But she insisted on going to school today ("I CAN'T fall behind Mom!" -insert a bit of whining) It was very achy when her and her crutches hobbled off the bus, and quite swollen. Her jeans were TIGHT around the knee. Silly head! So she's staying home tomorrow for lots of ice, elevation and ibuprophen to get some of the swelling down before her MRI. (insert more whining about staying home, but mama won this time)

So, yesterday LittleE and Jamie went to the Echo (science museum in Burlington) with her daycare and she loved it! She had a great time, and declared that the best part of the trip was riding on "da coach bus!" I'm telling you; she gets the weirdo-ness from her daddy. :)

He got some cute pics of her and I'll try to get them posted here for you tomorrow. I'm off, but have a bunch of errands to run as usual on my days off. MORE fun, fun!

Nighters!
