2020 / 2021

It’s been a while and quite a year to say the least since my last update!!

July 2020- Inari slipped on one of her toys and landed straight onto her back. At first I was afraid she compressed some vertebrae or seriously injured herself because she wouldn’t get up off of the floor for a while, so an ambulance was almost called. Thankfully I got her up after a while and we drove to the hospital. They didn’t do any back xrays but they xrayed her right leg.

At first the ER doctor said he didn’t think there was a fracture, wanting to wait for radiologist to take a look. Came back and again said both him and radiologist didn’t think it was broken. I asked to see the X-ray. You could 100% see the fracture in the middle of the bone, but because it wasn’t touching “the edges” they didn’t think it was a fracture. He said he would cast it though and while wrapping it up the doctor than changed his mind and agreed that he thought it was broken. 

In January 2021 Inari fell and fractured her foot. I didn’t take her in right away as the pain was manageable and sometimes fractures don’t show right away on X-ray, or not at all. We wrapped up her foot and waited a couple days, but since she wasn’t feeling better or walking we decided to get in confirmed at the hospital. The spot was honestly so small I could barley see it myself, but it was broken above her big toe.

Literally 1 month being cast free, Inari took another spill and now has the worst fracture either of the girls have ever experienced. I will write a new post about it as there’s A LOT to write about. This has not been a good experience at all. 

Aurora has been relatively good, but because of COVID we haven’t been to Montreal Shriners for either of the girls in over a year. So no Zole treatment for Aurora. No big breaks, butttt she has had many small ones. 2020 was the most fractures she’s ever had in a year.

• January, hit wall with her foot and broke her right pinky toe. Also hit her hand during gym on the floor, left middle finger. Bruised and warm to touch, small bump on top. Confirmed fracture, but non displaced so we splinted at home.

• July, 2 separate injuries to toes. 1 was confirmed broken. 

• August she injured her foot, was in a lot of pain. Went to ER right away because she literally came home balling her eyes out, which usually doesn’t happen whenever she injures herself. They said it wasn’t broken but we’ve had foot fractures that didn’t appear right away. Just wrapped it up and let her use crutches at home til she felt comfortable walking again.

• December she injured one of her fingers, we didn’t go for X-ray to see if it was actually broken but it hurt her a lot. We splinted.

Ok..... so I think I’m done!!! Here are some pictures of the girls from the last year. It’s been one of the most hectic years, but they are very resilient and we’ve made do/ had fun : )
