Real-time update: Broken ankle!

Sarah went to dance class Wednesday night at Rythm in Motion and rolled her ankle. I assured her that it wasn't broken. Thursday Finn had a doctor's appointment and Sarah shares the same doctor, so she had her look at it.

The doctor recommended that Sarah get some x-rays done.

Here is a normal front view of a foot and ankle. Notice the lack of a floating bone chip in the outside part of the foot. Follow the pinkie toe bone up to the gap in the bones. Nothing's there. That's normal.

Here's Sarah's foot. In the bottom right of the picture is the same view on the other foot. Following the pinkie toe bone up you can see the same area that lacks bones, except for the bone chip floating in the middle of it. Yikes.

Here is a normal side view of a foot. Follow the pinkie toe bone back to the big triangle bone. That's normal.

Here's Sarah's. The end of that bone leading to the pinkie toe is gone, ripped off and at the tip of the triangular bone behind it. Double Ouch!

So the vacation we're going on will be even more relaxing than we ever imagined it to be. When we get back, it'll be straight to the operating room to reattach that chip. That's not as fun as vacation.
