Well ...
She had x-rays and ...
She still won't put any weight on her leg and her leg is still swollen, so our doctor wants her to see an orthopedic specialist for a second opinion this week. They are going to set up the appointment and call me later today.
She has been pitiful and sad all day. Poor thing.
I almost had a meltdown in the bathroom of the radiology place. I had Spenser in the stroller and I was carrying Sawyer. Spenser had to go to the bathroom so I had to get her out of the stroller, without putting her down and put Sawyer in the stroller without putting him down. (Kids in public bathrooms freak me out.) I did that and then had to manage putting toilet paper on the seat and getting her undies down, one-handed, while trying to hold her and not to jostle Spenser and her leg. She cried the entire time. Sawyer was crying because he went from my arms to a stroller and he wasn't very happy about that transition. I really needed an extra two sets of hands for that job and some drugs.
Although she is still in a lot of pain, at least we know it's not broken.

but if she's not putting any weight on it, it's possible they couldn't find the fracture on the x-ray yet. sometimes it takes a few days for the break to become clear enough to see.
try tapping on the bottom of her foot. there's something about that particular type of vibration that really hurts bone breaks.
gah, sorry you're going through this.
BWW
And maybe ban her from the trampoline when the boys are on it.

Sometimes a good sprain can hurt as much as a break and heals much faster. I've had 6 broken bones and a shattered elbow. I'm an EXPERT!
Capello makes a good point. I had a broken rib, it really hurt, (and I was 38 weeks pregnant!) and every freaking x-ray showed nothing. 4 days later I coughed and REALLY broke it, and by then the x-ray showed the fracture.
