We left this weekend for Fargo to visit some of our old friends and to go to our annual Fighting Sioux Hockey Game. We left on Friday afternoon, arrived in Fargo in time to meet up with everyone for dinner at Granite City Food and Brewery (where I used to work). We had a great time sitting around the table chit chatting and catching up. We returned to Eddie and Megan's (Tyler's cousin and his wife) house and the guys played darts while us girls watched Angela laugh uncontrollably at their puppy Zoe. It was a late night, but a good one.
We woke up Saturday bright and early in order to get ready and run a few errands prior to the game. We went to Hu-Hot for lunch...one of Tyler's favorite places. Then headed to Grand Forks for the game. It started at 3:37 which was great because Angela was able to be awake for the entire game. We enjoyed every minute of it...and I think besides the fireworks that erupted after every Sioux goal, Angela enjoyed herself as well. The game ended in a 4-4 tie, but it was an amazing game. We left Grand Forks and returned to Fargo to watch some more hockey, eat some pizza, visit and watch the guys play poker.
Here is where it goes bad....It was getting late and Angela was wanting to lie down, so I grabbed her in my arms, grabbed the stuff for making her a bottle in the other hand and headed down to the kitchen. While I was headed down stairs, I fell while holding her. We thought since she was so tired and it was a scary ordeal that she was just scared, and that's why she cried so hard and for so long. She cried throughout the night, only wanting to be held (which I attributed to her being away from home for the first time in a long time, and being overly tired). On Sunday morning, Angela woke up super early and since we were all awake, we left for home right away. All day and night on Sunday, Angela didn't want to put any weight on her right leg and was an incredibly fussy baby compared to what she normally is. I slept on it and was trying to figure out whether or not to bring her into the doctor. I awoke and thought a little more, then decided I would bring her into the doctor to get it looked at.
Angela had her doctors appointment this morning at 11:15 and the diagnosis was...she has two hairline fractures in her right leg. One on her tibia, the other on her fibia. The orthopedic doctor did not put her in a cast today because she isnt a walker and said that she should make a full recovery in less than three weeks. This fracture won't affect her walking, development or growth in any way, shape or form. Although it's horrible in my eyes, I guess I have to look at it as though it could be worse.
I will leave you however with a few pictures from the game. Angela was the star of the show...at least for those in our section.
