AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well gang, I couldn't even make this one up, another chapter to add to my life story! Took my oldest to Emily to the doctor's for her 3 year check-up. No biggy right, no shots, just a routine check-up. She was actually excited about this. Wife answered their questionaire in the lobby pertaining to Emily's well being and how smart she is at answering questions and looking at objects at her age and after she was done, she told Emily she could play with the toys they have there in the waiting room for the kids. Myself, I am reading a Sports Illustrated just ready to read Rielly's column. Then it happened, Emily tripped on a toy and landed on her right arm hard. I have watched her tumble a bunch in her life but this one hurt and you could tell by her crying and when seeing the arm you could see it was broke. The doctor came out immediately along with his staff and he put it in a temporary split and told us to head to the ER to have x-ways. X-rays revealed its broke in two spots. After 2 1/2 hours, the ER sent us home with a splint on it and the arm in a sling and in 2 days they will re-set it and put on a cast. They want the swelling to go down some. I feel so bad for her. She was actually looking forward to this appointment and likes going the doctor and today she seen about 10 of them!! Funny thing is she is not letting it get her down at all. Kids are durable and with a little tylenol and codiene she is out like a light and sleeping right now. She's a little trooper. thanks for listening gang.................

Guest Andrea Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Oh no!!!!! That 's awful. Poor thing. I hope she isn't hurting. I know that had to break your heart. But you're right, kids bounce right back. And to think it happened right there in the doctor's office......lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildside Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Poor little thing! What a complete bummer. . . . I hope that the swelling goes down in no time flat and that she stays as comfortable as possible. Kids are amazingly resilient. Sounds like she has a great and positive attitude! I pray that as a parent you never have to witness something like that again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Poor little sweetie. It's not very often you go into the doctors for a regular check-up, and come out way worse off than when you went in. I hope she heals up quick, with little discomfort and pain.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks Gang. When I left for work this morning I checked up on her, (well I did that all night long) but the last I looked in on her she was actually laying on her side on the arm that is broken. Man kids are tough! The wife calls the doctor today at 9AM to see when they want to set it in a cast. Hoping for today but could be tomorrow. After she gets the cast on she still has to go back to the other doctor for her wellness check but I think we'll stay away from the toy area! LOL!! thanks for the kind words and I'll keep you all updated on her progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Really sorry to hear that Lou. Really hurts us parents too, to see our little ones get hurt, especially when you feel kind of helpless. Hope she heals up quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig mack Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Sorry to hear that Lou. Its tough to see your kids in pain. Maybe they could make her cast in Advantage Timber. I hope she heals quick. When I was 2 I broke my leg and my parents would pull me around in a wagon. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 what a bummer--hope the bones heal quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 She's going in today at 3:15 to have it set in place by the doctor. They have to put her under to reset it due to her age and that worries me but she's a brave little girl and she'll do great! Hope she just doesn't use the cast on her sister's head! Thanks again for all the kind words, I'll pass them on to her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
