Having endured over 2 weeks of pain and swelling that was not easing at all, Dave did finally go see his doctor. Before the doctor would see him, he sent him for x-rays on Monday. Monday night we got an email from the doctor saying he saw the x-ray and it indicated no fracture. So what was wrong then? Dave started having worse-case scenarios run through his head-- tear, surgery, etc. Thursday's appointment revealed he does, in fact, just have a bad sprain. The doctor did give Dave a stiff new brace that laces up like an ice skate and instructed him to focus more on hot water soaks, rather than ice packs. Today, for the first time in weeks, Dave's ankle actually looks kind of normal and the new brace has allowed him to ditch the crutches.

Ella has had a number of ankle "injuries" since Dave got his (most occur when she brushes her leg against something, like the couch). The girls just have to get in on this! Here they raid Dave's hot water soak. In my Bible Study, Beth Moore repeatedly tells us about her favorite quality time activity in her home-- chatting, drinking hot chocolate and soaking her feet in the bathtub with her daughters. Maybe we're starting a new tradition here!

Well, I'm glad it's not broken! And I love the foot-soaking idea, esp. since it involves hot chocolate. :)
