Broken arm

Two weeks ago my sister Jenny invited my sisters and I over to let the cousins play. The kids were outside playing while the adults were inside finishing eating lunch. Next thing we know Lyvi comes into the house crying saying her right arm hurts. None of the kids saw what happened, we think she was trying to climb on the playground and slipped. We didn't think her arm was broke because she could still use it but favored her left arm more. It then bruised up pretty good and the only time it hurt was when someone touched it. Well we (meaning Justin) finally decided to take her in to see a doctor, sure enough she fractured both bones. I could NOT believe it. I've seen her support her body weight on it, color, play etc. She was so excited to get home and show me her sling which she loves, she calls it her purse and her stickers.The doctor told us to make sure to get her in the next day to get her hard cast. So Bonnie (J.'s Mom) Lyvi, June and I went to the doctor today. She was super nervous. Until the nurse gave Lyvi's doll a cast too. After she saw the doll's cast she was excited to pick the color of her cast.

She picked pink... of course. The nurse let her take home some extra bandages. She has already rapped up her babies and Justin's arm.

I know, I know "Mother of the year" right?

What a tough kid! Glad she's doing ok. & I love that her shoes match the cast, something a mom to all girls can appreciate:)
Congrats on your new baby too! She's ADORABLE.

Poor Lyvi, I am glad Grandma was with you. We pray that it heals quickly. Love you and get well soon.

Only Lyvi could make having a cast so cute! I'm loving that Justin got a cast too...where was his picture? You are totally a great mom, don't you feel one bit bad, it was all Lyvi's fault for being such a tough kid...I saw her and I really didn't think it was broken either. Thank Heaven's for Justin!

I was over at Jennys getting Graces hair cut, and she told me all about it. I can't believe she used her arm so much, how could you have known. I LOVE the pink cast!
