Mad scientists on the loose....

I think that some mad scientist got his hands on my second-born!!! Just LOOK at her foot..... SEE! I told you- that surely must be the work of some demented, wacked-out scientist that is determined to take over the world by turning teenagers into pin cushions!!!
Seriously, I get the chills just looking at it! And I took those two with my phone- not even very good quality ;-) Wanna see what the inside of her toes look like? Here's the x-ray showing the rest of the pins..... oh, and you can also see the staples on the right side of her big toe.....
As you probably already guessed, Emily had her one-week, post-surgery check-up, and we got to see what actually happened to her poor foot- after the mad scientist got through with her, that is! After getting her wounds checked and having some x-rays taken, Emily was taken into the cast room where she was able to choose a new cast color. Can you guess what color she picked?! Her favorite and mine.......
Yep, she now has a kermit-the-frog-leg!!! So, after spending several hours at the doctor's office, with 2 extremely crabby toddlers, we headed home- Emily with her green cast and Jacob and Matthew with their new balloon hands!
Can't wait to go back next week where we get to do it all over again- plus get the pins and stitches out! Then she will be re-casted for at least two more weeks. From there, she will go into a walking cast, and eventually, when she is completely weight-bearing and walking normally again, we will get to work on the OTHER foot! POOR EMILY! Unfortunately, she was in a lot of pain today and missed the whole day of school, and it looks as if tomorrow will be at least as bad- if not worse- so no school tomorrow either. It's gonna be a long year!
