Oh what an exciting day. As I sit her typing I am exhausted from the emotion of the day. I left for work this morning and at about 9:25 Gigi called me. I thought she was calling me because she was at the house to meet the guy who was coming to clean the ducts. No no, she was calling because Ella had a normal little fall but would not stop crying. Ella cries but not for more than a few mins at a time. This had been over 5 mins of a cry neither Gigi or Nitsa had heard before and Ella wouldn't move her leg. We agreed that they should hop in the car and head to Stanford Emergency Care. This is our clinics urgent car. They would call me when they got there if I needed to come right away. It is only 15 mins from my work.
I heard from them that Ella was happy but still not putting weight on her leg and they had an appointment at 11 so just hang out. I stayed at work. Just after 11 I called to check in and Gigi said they were x-raying her hip just incase. Well I guess I had used all my brave up because at that point I decided to get the heck out of work. I wrote the sub lesson on the board, talked to my boss and took off. I got there just as they finished x-raying Ella and she melted into my arms. Then she signed "milk" over and over again.
Long story short, the x-rays don't show any major breaks. We were referred over to the pediatric ortho guys for tomorrow. She still can't put her full weight on her right leg and she makes this whimpering sound when she tries. She is kinda mad that her leg doesn't work. Hopefully it is just a little strain and everything will heal well. Tomorrow we will know more. She is asleep in her crib right now but I am sure I will let her snuggle up in our bed the first time she wakes up instead of making her wait like we normally try to do. It was a stressful day for Mommy. Gigi thinks she might have PTS grand-parenting.
