Flat broke

Many of you have been asking about what happened to Jaida’s foot and how she is doing now. On Friday evening of last week she discovered that our driveway is on an incline that she can ride down it hang a sharp left and continue down the street which also goes downhill. This was a lot of fun for about 15 minutes or so. Then, on what looked like a normal ride, Jaida lost her balance and put down her foot to steady herself. That was all it took. She came hobbling up the hill saying that her foot hurt. About 30 minutes later Grandma said we needed to look at what was happening to her foot. It was swelling, with gusto! The next morning we took her to urgent care, she had x-rays, and the fact that she had a fractured foot was confirmed. On Monday we saw an orthopedist. It turns out she fractured a bone that has a growth plate. The solution: a boot. We are grateful that she will just need to be in a boot for a month to heal. She was happy to give up the crutches, and has adjusted well to the use of the boot. I am not including a picture becasue Jaida is not a big fan of having her picture spotlighted on social media. Thanks for the prayers on her behalf.
