"Uh-oh" is the key word today! Unfortunately at only 21 months old, Savannah broke her left tibia today. We were at home, playing and making dinner and she just fell funny. She tripped over a play mat we have in her room (which she has done multiple times in the past), she fell funny and caused a spiral fracture, meaning it goes from front to back around the larger of the two shin bones. Of course, it happened while Chris was still at work. I called Savannah's pediatrician's office and they referred me to another one of their offices that has an emergency room built in. It was actually very close to our house, but we ended up taking a taxi, because I wasn't sure exactly how to get there (through the never-ending Dubai construction) and I wasn't sure if I could get Savannah into her car seat without causing more pain or injury. The office was great, we hardly waited and they confirmed it was broken with an x-ray. We were able to wait for Chris to get there before they put the cast on. She is a temporary cast until Monday afternoon to allow for swelling. We will follow up with the orthopedic surgeon on Monday and she will get a regular hard cast then. She was a trooper and so tough!
