Visit to Urgent Care

On my way home from work MJ told me that Abby fell off the bed today while playing with Gracie but she seemed to be ok other than wanting to snuggle a little more than usual. Since Abby has been teething again that didn't surprise either one of us.

As the day went on Abby kept telling Daddy that she fell off the bed but when he asked if she hurt she would say no. Her obsession with falling was not out of place either since all last week when asked how she got the boo-boo on her knee she would respond "Momma pushed me" (for the record I did not push her, she tripped over the hose as I moved it). The girl has a great memory and loves to share!

When I got home from the grocery store (with a few goodies for Abby in tow) MJ asked if her wrist looked swollen. I couldn't be positive but I did notice that she wasn't using her right hand much. MJ said she had been using it to hold her cup earlier but I couldn't get her to pick up her spoon or hold her Jello cup with it. After some debate we decided to hit the Urgent Care...


On our way with Peanut and Ellie too. Abby didn't want to go--she kept saying "no doctor M Mommy, no".





Once we got there We passed our time by snacking on cookies and Goldfish





And singing our ABC song

Other than not wanting to use her hand I really debated if she was hurt or not.

Abby was a trooper during the X-rays. She cried but stayed still for the most part. The bright light seemed to scare her the most.

Shortly after the x-ray the dr. came to give us the results. Poor Abby broke her forearm and needs a splint until we can get into see the orthopedic dr sometime tomorrow! The nice nurse gave her an orange lollypop while the worked on the splint. Abby really enjoyed that. I think the worse part was having to sit still until it dried!

So her we are, snuggled up in bed. Abby is sleeping, Mommy is blogging and Daddy is looking for a teaching job. I can't say that I enjoyed tonight but I can say that I am thankful that we are nursing a simple broken arm. I talked to Stacey tonight who told me I'm taking this well. Honestly all I keep thinking is thank God it wasn't a horrible car accident or cancer or not knowing what is wrong.

To all you moms out there dealing with something more, I wish you peace and good health!!!

Awwww, poor abby.....good news is that kids heal fast. Brad only had his cast on for 2 weeks when he broke his foot. Who did they recommend? We had Dr. Sharlone....can't remember spelling and really liked him.
