Bad Ankle


This past Thursday one of our girls fell down some stairs and badly twisted her ankle. This was actually the second time she did this on the same ankle and the same stairs. This time we thought it best to take her in for X-Rays. Nothing is simple in Africa so the process of getting downtown and finding the X-Rays took a little while. Once we got that done the Doctor sent us to another clinic to get a cast put on. It seems that in younger adolescents it is best to completely immobilize the ankle with this kind of injury because of issues related to growth. The poor thing was not too happy because all the girls were getting ready to go on a trip to the beach the next day. Please pray for Felicity as she learns how to deal with this inconvenience.
