We took Mom to the orthopedic doctor today and she received a wonderful report. Even though there is a fracture, because it is in the non weight-bearing bone she did not have to have a cast. The doctor told her to slowly start putting weight on the leg and just "take it easy" for the next couple of weeks. He also removed that huge splint she was wearing. She goes back in two weeks for x-rays and we should be able to see some new bone growth. I am sure she feels so much better without that splint on but she is definitely feeling more discomfort by have free movement of the leg.
Meanwhile, Kelby and Kolin spent the afternoon entertaining themselves with some of mom's walking devices. Kelby really enjoyed using her crutches as stilts while Kolin was ready for a wheelchair race. Don't ya just love kids!!Thanks for everyone that commented and/or sent prayers and good thoughts mom's way. She is well on her way to recovery!!!
Have a good week!!

Thanks everyone for the prayers, emails, visits, calls. I am slowly working the stiffness out of my leg, but know to quit before the pain, since I do not like pain.
