Cooper's Big Day

Cooper had an exciting day on Monday. Memaw was watching Cooper so I could work. I got a phone call from her as she was leaving Cooper's swim lesson. Memaw had fallen while carrying Cooper and hurt her foot. She felt and heard a "pop" and was worried she had broken something. Like any good Memaw, she had protected Cooper during the fall. She was able to hobble to the car and make it back to the fire station where my Dad was doing a ride along. This was also the station I was working at. It was obvious that she was going to need x-rays, so Capt. Ron packed off Memaw and Cooper to the hospital. When they got there, luckily some friends of mine were working and they immediately assumed care of Cooper. When the x-rays came back, our fears were confirmed. Memaw had managed to break her foot!

From Drop Box  The doctor wrapped up Memaw's foot and sent her home with the crutches. Unfortunately, she and the crutches didn't really get along and she ended up using a chair on wheels at my house to wheel herself around on the wood floors. She was so disappointed that she couldn't crawl around on the floor with Cooper. Capt. Ron was more disappointed that he had to play nursemaid instead of firefighter!

From Drop Box Thankfully, It looks like no surgery and Memaw will just have a walking boot for a while. I think next time she comes to play with Cooper she will leave her heels that "match her outfit" at home! Sorry the pictures are so small. My dad sent them from his cell :)
