Yup...Broken Tibia

Erica had her follow up appointment at Orthopedic Center of the Rockies for her ankle. They removed her cast and took more x-rays. The x-rays showed that her tibia was healing as evidenced by a calcium web growing around a minor fracture. He described it as a tri-plane fracture in her tibia. The good news is she had been wearing a cast which is best for a break.  Bad news is she will have to wear an aircast boot for three more weeks.  She can remove it when she's sleeping and bathing. She can also walk with the boot. 

Interestingly enough, Erica received a little elephant figurine for good luck yesterday. She had it with her all day in her pocket, but noticed that its leg had broken off by the end of the day. Daddy is going to mend the leg today. At at least the trunk is still up for good luck! We are on our way down to Denver for Erica's pre-operation appointment. We might have time to hit IKEA!
