Gimme a break

They say trampolines and monkey bars are notorious for breaking the arms and legs of young kids. Well we have confirmed that theory now, with Elisa falling awkwardly on the tramp last night and breaking her right arm. She wasn't even bounced very high - it was just a bad landing when when already off balanced. I was standing right there at the edge of the tramp watching too. I took her straight to the local Emergency Clinic which thankfully was almost empty of patients. We got into the Dr at 7.30pm, got x-rayed, had a cast put on and were home by 9pm. She has a greenstick fracture of the distal radius (close to the wrist). She had a pretty rough night sleeping, but did manage to get a few hours in. Today we returned to the clinic to check the cast, then came home where Elisa slept for a good couple of hours. She seems happier now. We will return to the fracture clinic on December 24th where they will remove the cast, do another x-ray and put on a new cast for a few more weeks. I so didn't think our kids would be this young when they got their first break.

I've been meaning to update for ages, but for some reason there are only 24 hrs in the day and I need at least 30 to get everything done. First up I think is Elisa's birthday. She had a lovely little party with Ryan, Logan, Brooke, Nanny, Papa and Great Nana. The butterfly cake went down well, and she got some really lovely thoughtful presents from the family. Thankyou so much to everyone for sending/posting them through. She loves them.









OK, I have more to add, but Elisa wants to go play, so I'll be back to update this post later....
