WAS
SAMARA!!!!
How is it that with 3 boys, my girl is the one that breaks a bone (other than a nose) first?!?! And none of the brothers had anything to do with it. She fell off of Asher's bed. No amazing story or anything, she just fell off.
I'm pretty sure we could blame the whole thing on Lightening McQueen. She was looking at Asher's stickers when it all happened. I was in the room going through winter and summer clothes, so I know Asher was not a part of it. Hyrum and Isaac were at school. It happened at 9:30am. I didn't think anything was wrong, I mean, she was crying and stuff, even harder than usual, but I really downplayed the whole thing, until around 10:30 I noticed that she was not using her arm at all and was just letting it dangle there. She would not give 'fives' or clap her hands. She also screamed when we tried to get her dressed and her arm through her shirt. Her arm was not swollen or discolored and I had heard that broken bones always cause that, so I just thought it was sore. I called the doctor and she said to take her to the ER. My dear neighbor took Asher and I went with Samara. Brad was home when it initially happened, but he had to go teach, so I dropped him off on the way to U of M Hospital. Samara and I got there and the Resident and Med Student were probably thinking the same thing I had been...this arm isn't broken, this little girl's just a baby and doesn't want to use her arm, but my gut now said there was something wrong. They did x-rays and concluded that she has a buckle fracture in both bones of her forearm (radius and ulna). She fell asleep as we were waiting for the results of the x-ray and she slept throughout the entire splinting process. We will see a Pediatric Orthopedic doctor in the next few days and she will likely be in a cast after that for a few weeks.

At least the sling is a cute one. I was picturing one of the white canvas ones when I heard about it.
I, too, think it's amazing that your little petite girl would be the one that broke a bone.
Try not to spoil her too much. ;)
