monday was back to school for trevor, back to work for Al and back to work at jodi's for Tova and me. Tova still wasn't walking on her knee and i got the call on monday that she had an orthopedic appointment tuesday morning. monday after school pickup we played outside in the little bit of snow for a bit. tova crawled around and loved it and trev even crawled/knee walked around with her.
tuesday morning after we dropped trevor at school we went to the ortho appointment. the dr rolled up her pants, looked at her knee, said it looked good, and then said he thought we should cast it for 2 weeks. it was a little confusing to me as to why he wanted to cast it so i asked if we could wait and see for a couple more days before choosing to cast it especially since we didn't really know what was wrong. he said he didn't see a problem with that so we set up an appointment for friday to cast it (full leg cast) if she didn't start walking on it. it was a 5 minute appointment then tova and i went to jodi's. once there i told tova she could walk on her knee, held her hands and she started walking on it. she definitely was sore after the morning at jodi's but it was good to see her put weight on it. Tuesday after school
wednesday was virtual learning day for trevor and Al was off. tova was still limping pretty good and getting sore after a bit but still would walk on it.
thursday morning i was feeling unsure about our friday appointment to cast tova's knee so i called our beloved pediatrician and she wanted to see tova. so we went in thursday morning and saw our dr sarumi. she looked at tova's knee, moved it around (with no pain) and watched tova walk on it (sarumi did way more with tova's knee than the ortho did) then asked why he wanted to cast it? i said that's what i was wondering. she said to cancel the appointment, it didn't need to be cast, just needed some time, an ace bandage, and ice. so we did just that and by sunday tova was walking normal with minimal soreness.
thursday after school pickup we got changed and went out in the beautiful frosty tree winter wonderland with trevor's school bff Liam's mom to take some family pictures. we've been needing to update our family photos for a while and just didn't get to it this fall. once home the kids had some hot cocoa to warm up then it was supper and movie night.
friday started Al's work weekend. tova and hung out at home and got some things done.
saturday mom came down and we played games, puzzled, played outside, had more hot cocoa, and just hung out at home. she headed home sunday during naptime.
