While riding her bike, Olivia went around a tight corner and got her leg caught underneath the bike. She twisted and fell, breaking her leg. We took her up to Primary Children's hospital to get x-rays and determined that she had a spiral fracture up her leg (above the ankle). They put her in a brace for a week until we could get a cast. Olivia really wanted a yellow cast, but that was not an option so she settled for pink. She had to use crutches for 6 weeks and then got a walking boot on for another 4 weeks. Poor girl could not ride her bike or dance for a couple months. Luckily she was able to get the brace off before summertime. Olivia's kindergarten class wrote letters to her (and her teacher bound it together). She loved getting letters and packages.
