Ouch

Thank goodness for good health insurance. Within the last week, Kasidee had her teeth surgery, Makenna had an ear infection, and . . . we just got back from the doctor's office (after-hours kids care) and found out that Kiera has a broken arm! She was playing at her second-cousin's house yesterday when she fell out of the swing. We could tell she was hurting; she cried and wanted to lay down, then promptly fell asleep. I figured she would wake up this morning, having forgotten all about it. But she said it still hurt "a little" and wanted her arm wrapped in an ace bandage for school. When it started getting a little puffy, we decided to take her in - and sure enough, her wrist is broken in 2 spots. (It's actually very hard to see on the copies of the x-rays we got.... It's more like a bulge directly across the bottom of the "LE" on the picture). They splinted it and said we'll have to take her in tomorrow or Thursday so they can put a real cast on it. Anyway, Kiera was pretty upset and worried - until she realized that now she can be "famous!" She's the only one in our family who has ever broken a bone (except for my 2 pinky toes which didn't need a cast), and she's excited to have a cast that everyone can sign. Ah, what fun adventures!!
