Lauren's Leg

Hey All,
For those who haven't heard Lauren broke her leg last Thurs. A little before bed she was playing in the family room and was jumping off the couch. She was aiming to jump over the tv remote and instead landed right on it with her shin. It was a pretty bad break and so she is in a cast up to her thigh and can't put any weight on it for 3 weeks. The doctors will then Xray her again and if things are going well she will get a cast to her knee that hopefully she can walk on. If not she will be longer in the cast she has now. So because she can't put weight on it she is in a wheelchair. A cute mini one with a leg rest sticking straight out. It is like having a potty trained bossy infant.:) She isn't happy about the situation but after a week the pain is much less and she hasn't complained too much about being itchy. Tonight I washed her hair in the kitchen sink with her laying on the counter. Inventive right?? Things here have been hectic and crazy but I have lots of help from my friends and ward. I have to leave her home when I have appointments because I can't do a baby carrier, Lexie, and a wheelchair. SHe is still going to school and I have to be on call to take her to the bathroom. Supposedly a school nurse is supposed to call me about that, but hasn't. Anyway there is the long story.
Love, Megan

This is Sunday, day 3 of temporary cast.

She is immobile, but still smiling

Her sisters are really helpful!!

At school we brought pens for her friends to sign her cast.
