It has been a tough day or two. Poor Elodie little has badly broken her femur right up near her hip joint. We have spent all day at the hospital yesterday (april 7th) to get x-rays and a plaster. She has been very brave and we are off to see the childrens orthopedic chap on Tues for a follow-up. They are expecting her to take 3-4 weeks to heal properly.
She cannot sit or stand (obviously) and has to spend the next few weeks on her back. Going to the loo etc is not an easy process. How she did it from jumping off a sofa is incredible. She said she was jumping to try and touch the ceiling(!) She tried to land on the floor on a cushion on her knees - I think she obviously missed the cushion. Katerina was there but did not see exactly what happened.
It has definitely transfered the mood of the whole "adventure" but I guess this could have happened anywhere and right now we are just trying to make her as comfortable as possible.
