Broken

My poor baby has a broken arm:( She fell off the console in Granny's car last week-we weren't driving, we were looking for Granny's lost glasses, so don't get any crazy ideas. She managed to sorta roll off the back and apparently landed on her arm. She cried for awhile when she did it and wouldn't use it for a little while, but she bounced back pretty quickly and was using it and moving it all around so I guess we figured it was just sprained. Yesterday she fell in the dirt and still came up holding her arm so Lane suggested I take her to get it looked at since she was favoring it still if she fell on it just right, and I agreed. Did I mention that she was swinging from the rings and holding her entire body weight up and enjoying it over the weekend-WITH A BROKEN ARM!!!! Somehow right after the x-rays before they said anything, I just knew it was broken....I was right. When the told me my stomach dropped and I felt sick. I feel so bad for not taking her last week. Fortunately, her doctor was very understanding and said it happens all the time when they don't come in until a week later. She sent us on to an orthopedist to check her out and cast it if that is what they think it needs since she is so small. She fractured the larger bone in her forearm just above her wrist. I'll be waiting for the call tomorrow on when they can take us. Until then she is in a splint wrapped with an ace bandage. She would rather it not be on her but she doesn't seem to mind it too much. I figured she'd be more miserable than she is. I managed to snap a couple of pictures yesterday afternoon.

Poor Baby! I promise she didn't wear tennies all day with her dress. I found a GREAT sale at Stride Rite in bewteen dr's appt. yesterday and she wanted to teste them out..yes, I promise she wanted to put them on.

Doesn't this next picture just make you sad? I found a new use for Glad Press and Seal. It keeps a broken arm clean during mealtime.

Hoping the rest of the week gets better!!!!
