The first 2 pictures are from Thursday. The last one is from today. Mom went to the Doctors for her ER follow up. She has been in little to no pain in her face and head, but has had massive pain in her knees. It has been very hard for her to either stand or to sit. The process of having to bend the knee (mostly the right) has been awful. The doctor took knee x rays (which were never done in the ER) and found what looked like a fracture. We were about to get into an Orthopedic Surgeon within an hour of her x rays at the family doctors. The findings are that she has a fractured patella. Thankfully it is not a through and through break. She will have to wear a brace/immobilizer for the next six weeks. She says the brace has already made it feel better. Also the Surgeon thinks there is close to a pint of blood in her knee. I think this should have been checked in the ER since she is on blood thinners, but what do I know.....
I will up date with any other news.
On a different note Alexis lost another tooth today. She lost one about 2 weeks ago and has lost a total of 4 teeth in 4 months. She has just made it difficult to eat apples and corn on the cob. Oh well, such is life.

gotta love the ER but I agree with you...someone should have checked! But with MI malpractice not lawsuit worth at this point ...sad but true. But I would write a letter of complaint for the er dr.'s file!
Glad the regular dr. caught it!
Congrats to Alexis!
