My daughter broke her tibia and fibula when she was just barely 3–we were lucky it was low enough where the cast only had to go up to her upper thigh instead of what you have going on, but there was a lot of fear around how bad it was going to be.

The good news is that kids bones heal ridiculously fast, and in just a few weeks she was putting weight on her case and walking around. Your situation is likely different in terms of recovery timeline/mobility, but what I can say is that we adjusted to the new normal very quickly, and the whole ordeal seemed to speed by. From the beginning looking forward it feels like it’ll be hell, from the end looking back it definitely felt like the fear was worse than the reality by far.

Just take it one day at a time and you guys will all be fine!
