Amy has broken a toe!

If it's not one thing with poor Amy, it's another.
Today I noticed she was walking with a clenched foot, rather like a peg leg and on closer inspection, she has a broken centre toe.
We know it will heal eventually as we have Nora who'd broken hers before coming to us but it fixed in a very misshapen way. We don't want it to be deformed or for her to walk on a stumpy leg so we're going to attempt a repair once the brats are in bed. Some childrens analgesic, a matchstick, insulation tape or similar may hold the toe in position so she has to walk on the flat of her foot.

Poor poor Amy. I suppose she has brittle bones to add to her other conditions.
