Please pray for Anja

Hey guys,

It sure has been an interesting morning. Mom and I just got home from taking Anja into the Emergency Room. This morning she was in the bathroom with some of her sisters (will remain anonymous) and she climbed up on to the sink/counter. She was accidentally bumped and fell backwards onto the floor.

That's some good cream cheese!!

She was crying ALOT, and that is very rare for her. So we brought her to Mom, and she wouldn't put any weight on her left leg. So Mom called our Family Dr. and he suggested bringing her in to have it looked at. So we took her in to the ER and had some X-rays done, and found out that she has a small fracture in her tabula, and in the fibula behind it. It is a normal injury for toddlers between 1 & 2 years old. It will take approx. 8 - 12 weeks to heal. Right now she has a splint on it and will get a hard cast on Tuesday, from the same Dr. that Zack and I went to. Right now she can't put any weight on it and has to keep it elevated, which for her will be REALLY hard. She likes to be on the go all the time.

So if you can be praying for her for quick healing, it would be GREATLY appreciated. It's hard to see her in pain like this. I know what it's like having had it myself, and it wasn't fun @ 11, let alone 1 & 1/2.

Anyway, Thanks for all of your prayers!!
God Bless,
Ike

Oh my goodness! Poor girl! I'll be praying for her to heal quickly! That would be so hard to not be able to put weight on it at all. :(
