As you may remember, Jenna has been in a cast for 4 weeks now, and last time we went in to the doctor, he said she should start putting some weight on her leg. You know, just kind of limping or walking with help so she can get started with the whole walking thing. So, yesterday I was asking her to try to stand on both feet and just see if she could do it without it hurting. Well, the next thing you know, she’s walking around. I put the little cast shoe on her, and she was WALKING–BY HERSELF through the house! Then I had to tell her to sit down and stop walking so much until we get the ok from the doc. I took her to school today, and even though she can walk, let her have the wheelchair. She has a dr’s apt tomorrow, and we’ll see what the x-ray looks like. Even though she says it doesn’t hurt to walk, by bedtime she was tired and I think her leg ached from all that unexpected exercise. I’m just so shocked that she can just up and walk like that after having not walked for over a month. Little kids are such quick healers!
