Allie's purple "boot"


So on Saturday while we were at the park Allie and Alex's cousing Lauren were going down the slide and we think Allie's leg got caught in between the slide and Lauren and...well it broke! She was screaming and Lauren didn't even know what had happeneed. I thought maybe she had pulled a muscle or something cause there was no bruising or swelling, but Alex said we'd better go in and get it x-rayed. It's a good thing we did cause it broke completly through her tibia (shin bone) We had to go to an orthapedist this morning to make sure everything was in the right place before they casted it. She calls it her "boot".


This is how Allie looked for church. The instacare nurse just put a brace and ace bandage on it. Poor Allie just couldn't understand why she couldn't just get up and go. She was so frustrated! But she's been a tough cookie and a good sport about it all.

And even though Tate's been just a little bit jealous of all the attention Allie's been getting he's been a good helper.
