We took her home and the next morning she said she couldn't walk on her foot and that it really hurt, so we took her in to the doctor for x-rays. The x-rays did not show any sign of a break, so the doctor said it was probably a sprain and we took her home for it to heal. Four weeks went by and she was still favoring her foot and not walking on it correctly, so we called the doctor back and they referred us to an orthopedic surgeion. We took her in again for more x-rays and the orthopedic surgeon did not see any sign of a break, but diagnosed that she must have fractured her growth plate and so she put a cast on A's foot for three weeks. A got to pick out the color for her cast which was multi-colored.
At school she was not able to participate in PE, but she enjoyed being able to pick some toys and a friend to take her to the nurse's office where she played while her classmates went to PE. She was told not to run or climb with her cast on, but that lasted for about a day and we had to continually remind her to just walk.
