We Had A Little Accident
No, I am not pregnant. Not that kind of accident. E had a little accident Thursday night. She was on the top bunk when J reached up to tickle her and she reacted and fell off the bed and landed on her arm. Her elbow was swollen to twice the size of her other arm. We went to the E/R and after a few hours, the doctor told us she had a broken humerus. It's broken right above her elbow. This broken bone stuff is whole new territory for us. Neither Hubby or I have ever broken a bone, nor have our brothers and sisters or our kids...until now. My poor baby! They put a splint on it in the E/R and we got her real cast Friday morning. She will keep it at least four weeks. She has been a very big girl through this whole thing. She barely cried at all.

Poor little thing!!
ReplyDeleteAt least her cast is PINK. That makes up for it just a little bit. But oh... a cast in the summer time. Sigh.
I'm so sorry your baby got hurt! My heart would be breaking, too! I guess the only positive is that it might make all the kids think differently about safety from here on out. Too, if she likes attention she'll have a ball the next 4 weeks! I know little boys love them, anyway. I had a nephew who thought his was a shiny new merit badge. ;)
ReplyDeletePoor thing! I love the color that she picked out for her cast. I broke the same arm twice in 6 months when I was little so I can sympathize.

I am so sorry that she broke her arm but she sure is cute with that pink cast:) Happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that your little girl had an accident. My friend's child had a very similar accident when he was about her age. I hope that she'll heal up quickly and that this won't spoil any summer fun.
ReplyDeleteOh! That poor baby! (and poor momma!) The pink is the best color for a cast!
ReplyDeleteHope she heals quickly!
Poor E!! I bet her cast will be decorated to the hilt by the time she gets it off though! Glad she's been such a big girl about it.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor thing!
ReplyDelete(I've never broken anything either)
