if there is a planet of accidents, I am sure it's right over us at the moment....... this time it was LP's turn as she was bounced off the trampoline and landed on her elbow. At first we thought she'd just given it a good whack, but the fact that she wasn't talking much told me that she was not alright (this is the girl who does not stop talking except to eat and sleep). Time for another visit to the local Emergency Care where the dr had that "haven't I seen you before?" look.
LP has a fracture in her elbow, but was very lucky because it looks like the bit that is broken off has stayed in place and doesn't need pinning. At the moment the temporary cast is still on, but she'll get a full cast after a visit to the "bone doctor". In the meantime LP is quite pleased to finally have some Xrays of her own (go figure....)
So does this mean it's time to wrap Turtle up in cotton wool and just plaster his arms anyway for protection??!! Poor Little Possom, how brave you are.
ReplyDeleteI should also comment, poor mum, how brave you are too!
ReplyDeleteI'm touching all available wood for Turtle :) He tried his best today.... hurtled towards the Primary stairs on a mini skateboard... (ok, so we still have a way to go on the reverence issue!)
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I can't believe it! I feel like I'm surrounded by kids with arm casts these days - is this because the kids are getting older, or is it just a fluke?? Glad the damage wasn't worse for LP.
ReplyDeleteShe was so excited to tell me all about it yesterday in Primary. What a trooper. I forgot to tell her that I broke my arm on a trampoline when I was just a few years older than her and had to have two pins put in my elbow to put it back into place. I did get a snoopy sling to put my arm in though - I think my mom still has it somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWere you practising for the Olympics again Little Possum?? Hope it heals really quickly.,
