You've got to be kidding me!! Another broken arm!

Ok, so I know that Asia is my wild child for sure but really give me a break. We just barely got done with all the visits to Primary Children's for Makynlee's arm two weeks ago. Now Asia decided it would be fun to break her arm too.

Tuesday night June 9th at 8:30 p.m. Asia was playing on the couch turning the light on and off and I told her that she better sit down or she was going to fall and get hurt. I told her if she didn't quit I would put her in time out. So she sat down and started watching TV. I waited there for a while to make sure she was going to quit acting like a monkey and then walked into the kitchen when I heard a thud. Asia started screaming and was holding her arm yelling ouchy. She's a tuff little girl so when she wouldn't quit crying and wouldn't move her arm I knew something was wrong. We dropped Makynlee off at my moms and rushed over to the ER. The Doctor told us at first that she probably didn't break it because kids bones are like rubber at this age. So when he came back and said Oh yeah she broke it and in two places we were a little shocked. Makynlee ended up getting sick and throwing up at my mom's. We finally made it home at 1 am after picking up Makynlee. So it was a very long night to say the least with a puking kid and a kid in lots of pain.

I took Asia to the Orthopedic Surgeon the next day and everything looked good so they were able to put a cast on it. I feel so bad for her, the cast is so heavy. She can't get up when she's laying or sitting down. She has a really hard time sleeping because it's so uncomfortable. It's still been hurting her quite a bit so we have to keep up on the pain medicine.
Sorry it's taken me awhile to post this but I've been trying to get a picture of Asia in her cast. She never holds still and as soon as I get the camera out she runs. So not the best picture but it works.

  2. Oh Brandy, that is awful!!! Please know that I feel your pain. I am surprised that LIbby has not broken her arm or someone elses yet. I don't know what is up with these little girls but they are crazy. I keep telling myself, if I can just survive until she is 4 things may get better. The sad thing is 3 year old are just as bad as 2 so there is not much to look forward to for the next little while...Ahhhhh! Chin up, hope things go well with the little cast. She looks cute anyway, and I also totally understand about the picture thing, libs doesn't stand still for anything!
