Today I took Saige to see an orthopedic doctor. When we arrived, they gave Saige a squirrel necklace and notified us that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. They must have known Saige LOVES made up holidays! Now she thinks we need a cake after school! :)
Express care told us that she just needed to wear a brace for a week or so. The orthopedic doctor said otherwise. She said that it is a much better idea to cast it to basically protect the injury for 6 weeks.
So Saige picked out a green cast and will be wearing this for approximately 4 weeks and then we will go back and probably get a second cast after they do x-rays. She was very good while they set it, and she pointed out that before she could go back to school, we needed to stop and get some markers so her friends could sign it. Easy enough! We also made a stop off to pick up Harper's glasses because apparently at some point the dog thought they were a chew toy. Always an adventure. Always!
