The kids were out playing soccer on the front lawn last nite and I was mowing the lawn. Well Hannah came over crying saying that Cody kicked the ball and she hurt her arm. Her forearm was a little red so I gave her a hug and off she went. But she was back a while later saying that it hurt but I couldn't see anything wrong.
She came in and watched a movie with the boys and fell asleep in the chair. She woke up around midnite and said it still hurts and I thought I could feel swelling just above her wrist
I gave her some Tylenol hoping if nothing else, it might help her sleep and if nothing was better by morning I thought I would take her to the hospital. She said she was trying to catch the soccer ball and hurt it.

She said she was trying to catch the soccer ball and hurt it.Well Hannah and I slept in the double bed in the bottom bunk last nite and when she woke this morning she was all smiles and wanted to go and get Daddy his breakfast in bed. She still wasn't using her arm at all but there were no complaints, not even to say that it was sore.
After Mike opened his gifts I asked her if it still hurt and then she said yes so I took her down to the hospital just to be on the safe side and make sure it wasn't broken. Thank god I did, because even though the doctor played with it and asked her if this hurt ('no'), did that hurt ('no') and she could squeeze his fingers, he still sent her for x-rays and found that it was broken, just above her wrist
What a brave little girl, no complaining at all except for one point just after they had applied the cast and her arm started to heat up inside the cast, she looked at me and said 'Mommy, it hurts', brought tears to my eyes

Needless to say Mike and the boys were very surprised when we pulled in and she had a cast on her arm. I can't believe I got her to sit still as long as I did in the big recliner where she could put her arm up. She fell asleep there shortly after we got home and stayed there to eat lunch and finally around 4 she came outside with Colin who pushed her in the swing for awhile. I didn't want her arm to get uncomfortable so we fashioned her a sling out of a Tigger/Eeyore pillowcase and she has been wearing that since. She loves it and she is milking this for all it's worth, the little rascal
