We talked to her orthopedic doc awhile ago. The plan is to get Abby up and moving around today although not putting weight on her broken leg. As long as she does that, she can go home tonight. Abby is very adverse to getting up though, so hopefully she'll be willing to try it. Her pain is being managed and she's watching tv and resting.
Her leg is still in a splint and she won't be in a cast for another week or so. They are concerned about swelling so she'll also have to her leg up all the time. She's supposed to stay out of school for the next 2 weeks. Since it requires 2 people to move her (one to hold her leg and one to hold her body) there are some challenges we'll face as she recovers.
And here's the little patient:
Poor little girl! I send positive vibes and lots of courage her way.
