Broken...

Turns out that Naomi's injury from last week was more serious than the Dr assumed. She's been limping for a whole week now and she is still flinching when we tough her leg. So I took her and got it x-rayed this morning which clearly showed a break in the fibula (don't have a copy of the images to put up). After a chat with the drop-in doctor at the medical centre, we went off to the hospital to get more doctors to have )a look and ask lots of questions. Mainly because I didn't actually see how Naomi hurt her leg, I can only take an educated guess at when it happened and what happened (I thought she may have fallen off the couch) and my 'educated guess' about what happened is consistent with a fibula fracture.

Result...No cast needed as it isn't a weight bearing bone and she can continue to walk on it , it will just continue to hurt for a couple of weeks. And the 'boss' doctor at the hospital, has his own educated guess as to what happened...either she was running along, fell and twisted her leg or she was mucking around with Ben and he accidently landed on her leg.
