Ouch!!

Sunday night Nathan and Kennedy were in her room picking out clothes for school on Monday. I went to put Grant down and I heard a horrific scream. I thought, "What in the world did Kennedy do to get in trouble right before bed?" I opened the door and she was laying on the floor screaming. Nathan was saying, "Don't move! Don't move!" He was looking in her sleeve, so I thought. I said, "What is wrong?" He said, "She broke her arm!" So, I dart out of the room get Regan she runs across the street to the neighbor. The neighbor comes over. I call my mother-in-law to get her to come over to watch Regan and Grant. We load up and head to the ER. Kennedy had stood on the footboard of her bed and was jumping off onto Nathan's back. Well, she overshot and cleared Nathan's back and landed on the floor.

We got to the ER and they took x-rays. You have two bones in your forearm--the ulna and radius. Her ulna broke. We didn't know until the follow up that when the ulna broke it dislocated the radial bone into the elbow.

So, yesterday we headed back to the hospital. They had to sedate Kennedy while they put her arm bones back in place.

It was a very emotional day for ALL of us. I pray that we never experience another broken bone again!!

(Sorry the pictures are sideways. I tried fixing it, but it didn't work.)

She is at school today though...she insisted! She wasn't even in the front door yet and she wanted to take off her coat (so everyone could see her sling/cast). We go back for a follow up on Thursday. If the swelling is down/gone, she will get her hard cast, which will be HOT PINK! She can't wait...and I can't either!!
