Finally....

Today was our appointment with the ortho specialists at Primary Children's to see why Zoey has been limping. It has been almost 2 weeks since this whole process started. X-rays and lab work were originally done at her pediatricians office. Both were normal. No swelling was ever noticed, but her right lower leg has always been tender to the touch when examined and the limp continued.













The Ortho office originally would not make an appointment for Zoey as she didn't have a "diagnosis". Isn't a limp a diagnosis??? Thanks to my pediatrician, we were able to coax them into seeing her. Of course more x-rays were taken, which I expected.

Ta Da!!! Imagine that. Zoey had a fracture on her right fibula. Right where she was tender to the touch. I am glad to finally have an answer for the limp. They placed her in a walking boot for the next 2 weeks. It is already showing new bone growth on the x-ray. I am sad that she has a broken bone, but it is the cutest little walking boot ever! We aren't quite sure how the broken bone came to be, but we have a good guess. Her lovely big sis has been caught standing on her legs before. Mmmm-a little more education to follow!!!
