We have had our first broken bone, a fracture really, but it counts. You would think that it would be a bone on one of the five boys, but no, it is on our sweet princess. So here is the story. I was at work--the story is a little sketchy but this is the version I got--Jordan was on the phone, Michael asked him to get leigha who was going down the stairs. This is the sketchy part, Jordan isn't forthcoming with details, whatever happened she got picked up by the one arm on the stairs and crying happened. I called home to say goodnight and heard Leigha crying out in her sleep, so I came home. I couldn't stay at work knowing she was in pain. We all assumed it was Nurse's elbow, we have had that in our home before. So yesterday (28th) I took her to the doctor, they immediately sent us for x-rays--then they wanted more x-rays (should have been a clue), back to the doctor who said she has a fractured elbow and needs to see the Orthopedic surgeon right away, like today. We went over there and he said it didn't look bad enough to need surgery (whew!) but she did get a pretty pink cast (she picked pink, not mommy :) ). We will do more x-rays next week. the cast needs to stay on for at least 3 wks. Leigha is much happier now that the cast in on, her arm doesn't seem as much. I'm very relieved, relieved that she is feeling better and that it as of now does not require surgery. Jordan feels bad so we aren't rubbing it in too much.
