Katie's sprained ankle is healing slowly. The bruise, which was magnificent, is now reduced to just a purple area about 4 inches long and an inch thick along the side of her foot below her ankle. She still can't walk on it or even bear much weight on it, but she has stopped wearing the air cast and is now back to wearing her sneakers. With some prompting, Katie can use her leg enough to balance herself on two legs although the leg with the sprained ankle is just barely touching the ground.
She surprised us all this morning by trying to and succeeding at a very short crab walk in which she successfully bore at least some of her body weight on the injured ankle. She proudly exclaimed that it didn't even hurt. Hopefully for her, the worst of this injury is behind her and things will just keep getting easier from here.
