So it's day three at 3602 Kelly Way without any power. Yes we have had another storm that wiped out our power. I think sometimes if it rains and you look at it the wrong way it would wipe our power out. Generator is going so hopefully we won't lose anything out of the fridge/freezer. To add to the excitement Ella decided she wanted to soak up a little electricity so we made an emergency room run on Sunday night. Ella was playing on the new swing set and was going across the monkey bars and fell down. We immediately went inside and iced everything and she said she wanted to go back outside to play so I let her but she couldn't even walk across the yard and started crying that her ankle hurt. We went to the hospital to get it checked out. I think she was more excited about her happy meal and new smurf toy then the pain she was having around her ankle. We got back to the room and the doctor checked her out and said he wanted an xray just to make sure. The technician came to get her for xrays and asked if she would like to walk, have mommy carry her or go for a ride on the bed - she immediately said ride on the bed with a huge smile. She was all smiles going around the corner for xrays. She laid very still for xrays and giggled after every picture because the machine played music. After we waited for them to read the xrays and she watched Aladdin in her bed, I brought her jammies and they brought her one of those warm blankets. They said there was no break or fracture so they wrapped her ankle in an ace bandage for support and gave her some ibuprofen. She is limping a little bit but think she'll be just fine. Doctor said to wear the bandage for about 5 days but if she is running around playing to take it off but if she is still limping after 5 days then she needs to come back and they also gave us signs to watch for in case she has a concussion. We got home around 10 pm and she fell right to sleep. She's playing at Elaine's today.
