Emmy's big break

It was Saturday night around midnight when we heard a big ker-thunk. Emmy has fallen out of her bed before but usually she just wakes up and climbs back in. This time she was screaming hysterically and saying that her arm hurt. She is typically pretty hysterical if she comes out of a deep sleep, so we just got her calmed down and put her back to bed. The next morning she was still favoring it a little, but Blake had told her if she quit crying she could have a piece of candy. So from that point on we didn't know if she was really hurting or just wanted candy. I was leaning towards the latter since she was using it, acting pretty normal, and not complaining too much. When Uncle Sean, Bone Expert, came home he took a peek and said that we should probably go get an xray just in case. He was also very VERY nice and went ahead and splinted it for Emmy just like they would do in the hopsital. So this is how she looked with her splint.

So you can imagine my surprise when we went to the doctor and the xray looked like this!

So I don't know if that's really it, but it was completely wonky like the one above! She broke both the radius and ulna bad enough to almost need surgery! I felt like a complete mother of the year, but you saw her! So we were treated to a giant pink cast, that Emmy calls her pink arm. Bless her heart she's holding up pretty well, but you can tell from her eyes that it's going to be a LOOOONG 5 weeks in this cast and then potentially more weeks in a short cast.

She's not letting it get her down! Baths are no fun and pretty much most summer activities are out, but at least there's movies! I think we'll be watching a lot of those! I will say that it is going to be the SMELLIEST cast in the history of 4 year olds. Playing outside in August makes for a quite a funk. Just don't get too close =)
