Jersey has my klutzy behavior, even though she is a very active kid. She likes to take chances like doing the monkey bars backwards, going across them fast and always on the go.
On Friday April 16th, Jersey called me from school to tell me she broke her arm. I questioned her like are you sure it's broken? But then I thought about it and she won't be calling me from school if it wasn't serious. I was still in my pj's so I hurried and got dressed and ran to the school.
When I got to the school she had a melted bag of ice on her arm and she looked like she was in pain. I checked her out and we went home, I called the DR they said I needed to take her to Primary Children's hospital. So we got in the car and drove up there. As soon as I saw the x-rays I could tell it was broken. Because of the swelling they couldn't cast the arm right away. So they splint her right arm and sent us on our way. Mike met us at the hospital and we all went out to lunch.
Since she broke her arm and I was already late for work, I stayed home to take of her. But we made the most of the time together. We went to my nephews baseball game and then we took the kids to dinner and to a movie. Jersey I'm sure wishes she broke her arm sooner to get all this attention.On her birthday April 20th she got a hot pink cast on her arm. She has not let the cast slow her done at all. She is riding her bike, running around on the playground, playing soccer, dancing and going across the monkey bars with her cast. What a crazy girl. She also still able to write with her hurt arm.
Tomorrow she gets the cast off. I'm so happy that she didn't let this trial in life take over her and make her think she couldn't do the things she loves while being hurt.
