Well, Alison's sprained ankle wasn't really a sprained ankle. Turns out it was actually a broken leg!

Alison saw Dr. Craig today. He didn't really look to closely at the x-rays that we brought with us because they were three weeks old at this point and he was a little concerned that Alison's ankle was still so swollen. He had us go over and get new x-rays taken to see what was going on. He showed us that there was an area of new bone growth on her fibula, just above her ankle. Great, just great. We've been letting her walk, run and jump around on a broken leg for three weeks!! Luckily, her brace has been helping keep things pretty stable, but Dr. Craig wants to give the ankle a little more support so Alison is now sporting a royal purple walking cast, which will go nicely with the royal purple queen costume she's wearing for Halloween. Fortunately, the cast comes off in two weeks.

Because we have this broken leg/swollen ankle issue to deal with, we didn't really get much of a chance to talk about Dr. Hurvitz's idea of doing a Botox injection in Alison's calf. That will have to wait until a later date.
