After a huge hassle finding a pediatric orthopedist in Houston on our insurance, we got Zara looked at today. I blame non updated Aetna provider network web interface for all that trouble. What a mess. Anywho, Zara's leg fracture is very clean and, while no doc will say zero chance of problems, this is about as close as you can get. He's confident everything will heal without issue and this apparently is more common than I would have guessed as this was his second officially named "toddler fracture" today. After the brief checkout, Zara got a full leg cast in her fav, orange. Since she can't use crutches, she gets the full leg cast bent 90 degrees at the knee to try and keep her from walking on it. Although, doc says they usually figure out how to walk with it before it comes off. And, speaking of coming off, she only has to wear it three weeks, kiddos heal so much faster then us old farts.
All in all, she was a champ and just looked curious the whole time it was going on without complaining any. She doesn't seem to mind it and she is already used to not being mobile again has been pretty chill about the whole thing. Here is Zara getting her cast and then another after we got home and Momma was playing with Picasa.

Aw, poor Zara! But that's great that she's so zen about it. And only 3 weeks? Nice.
