So, on September 6th, Lily was up later than usual due to a late afternoon nap. She was walking barefoot down our hall which was free of all clutter and halfway down, she just fell and cried in pain. After comforting her, she would not stand on her right leg. We gave her some advil and she went to bed.
The next morning, she slid out of bed like normal and immediately upon adding weight to her leg, she fell again and cried in pain. JC & I quickly got dressed and headed out to the Urgent Care Clinic.
Sure enough, Lily had some freak of nature accident that caused a "buckle" fracture on her leg.
Monday morning, we were fortunate to be able to get an early morning doctor appointment with a pediatric orthopedic specialist. He said her bones looked good and that she must have just stepped wrong. He put a cast on her for 3 weeks and said as soon as she felt comfortable on it, it was okay to walk on.
A week later, the 13th, she was crawling a little bit but not standing on her leg yet. She played in the sand at Aunt Laura's house while sister and brothers swam.

We are certainly hoping and praying that Lilly heals up fully and has no further difficulties.
