Yesterday Scarlet dropped a 15 lb weight on her big toe when we were at
Grandma’s house. It didn’t occur to me that she could pick it up! She only
weights 28 lbs herself! But I didn’t get to her in time and she dropped it
on her big toe. When she calmed down we decided to take her to immediate
care just in case. The lady who x-rayed her foot was not good with kids and
I wanted to punch her when she suggested I spank Scarlet for not staying still.
Scarlet was so scared about what was going to happen that she was
hysterical. When it was finally over the Dr. said he’d have an expert look
at her x-rays just in case but she would most likely be fine–He could
splint it but she would just rip it off. We just have to keep her barefoot for
a few days and try to keep her from irritating it as much as we can. She was
trying to walk on her tippy toes within hours the little stinker.
