Rylee's new accessories

Sunday night we went up to our neighbor Tracy's pool. Rylee was pretty hesistant at first but after a little while really loved playing there!







But then she got out of the water to get a ball and next thing we knew she was laying on the ground after falling. There was nothing that she fell over so we're not exactly sure how it happened. She didn't get up and was really crying with it. We went home to try to distract her from it but she didn't stop complaining about it and wouldn't put any weight on it so we decided to go get it checked out. We went to Forsyth, where Dave and I work to get x-rays thinking it was nothing...little did we know we were in for a huge surprise! They found a femur fracture of her right leg and since Forsyth doesn't do peds, we were transferred to Baptist so that an orthopaedic surgeon could look at it. Rylee spent the first night in traction to help with the muscle spasms and then was put under general anesthesia and intubated to place her cast on. She is still in a great deal of pain at times and still having some muscle spams but at least we have made it home. We are waiting for her wheelchair to get here so that we can get back to a new routine with her. Please pray for us in the next 4 weeks since she won't be able to walk and will need to be woken up each night to be turned to prevent pressure ulcers. Please also pray for Makenzie as she may not get to see much of her parents for the next little bit. Everyone is pitching in helping with her. We really are blessed to have such great family and friends. My fear is just that after it is all over she won't even remember who we are anymore! But like they say, It takes a village to raise a child. Good thing I have such amazing people in my village!
