Kiah tisted her ankle in PE yesterday. She told me about it when I picked her up from school. I was a bad mom. I didn't even take the time to look at it. So when I saw her swollen ankle this morning I felt a little bad. I took her to the doctor to make sure it wasn't more than a sprain. He said to give her ibprofin and ice it through the weekend. If it isn't better by Monday i am to take her back.
It is a hard pill to swallow since I had a bad ankle sprain when I was young and I always felt my parents ignored it when they shouldn't have. I lost a lot of mobility in it. But I was much older than Kiah is; I just never imagined it was as bad as it is. Lesson learned.
It is hard to photograph it, but I tried here. Getting her to sit still while her brother and sister are dancing all around her is a feat. So you can sorta tell her left ankle is swollen in this picture.

Poor Kiah! I hope the ice and ib profin work and you don't have to head back to the doctor. It's okay Luna because had you looked at it before she went to sleep it may have not been swollen, not until morning.
