Got the call from the school.....again.

[JeffinNZ]

So you may recall the short lived spectacle that was Kiera walking along a bicycle stand the result of which was a dislocated elbow? Well, today was Abby's turn.

I'm just ordering my coffee at the airport terminal on my lunch time walk when Sheryl calls. The school had called; Abby is in sick bay after a fall. I get the coffee, walk back to work and drive to the school. Kiera was with her and doing well. Abby's wrist was swollen. I took her to the local clinic and after xrays it was concluded she had a fractured arm; not broken due to her youth but requiring a cast. Here is the result:

She was so brave. No pain meds. Hard core wee girl. Plaster cast for a week then a coloured fibreglass cast for the school production next week.

Such an beatiful little girl,prayers for her speedy recover

[RED333]

She looks a bit mad about it all, prays to get her feeling better.

[southpaw]

Hope she has a speedy recovery. Little girls sure have a way of wrapping Daddy around their little finger don't they!

I see my one daughter breaking some bone, just not hers. She is my little princess but she won't take any garbage from anybody.

BTW it looks like you must have been just out of arms reach when you took the pics or she would have had the camera.

Well, you didn't expect her to be outdone by her sister did you? Hope she gets well soon.

These thing seem to happenin pairs prayers for you and yours. When my little girl broke here leg I'd have given anything for it to me me instead of her. When they had to rebreak it cause it didn't set right I'd have given my leg for her.

[Bulldogger]

:-(
Prayers sent. Hope she mends fast and ends up tougher than before.

That's gonna put a hurtin' on her groups from the crickett! LOL!

Kids are tough though. I'd still crying around if it'd been my arm.


I do have to wonder, what's going on with the 70's era psychedelic shag carpet she's got under her arm????

[Freightman]

Such is what goes along wit raising kids :D been there done that. Hope for a speedy recovery and save the signatures that sign it she will treasure it when she is grown.

[DeputyDog25]

Our prayers for a quick and speedy recovery. She is a beautiful little girl, hate that she got hurt. God Bless you and your family.

Jeff, I've said it before and will say it again, you have cute kids. I am sorry they got hurt, but am glad it was not worse. Having said that, I have just got to ask.... Which parent do the girls get the tendency to crash and burn from?:kidding:

[Mumblypeg]

A kiss and a Band-Aid works wonders. These things are like the scratches on our gunstocks.... it gives them character. You have tough girls... and they are cute too!

[smokeywolf]

Hate to see a frown on a little cutie-pie's face. Mommy needs to bake something special and Daddy needs to invest a little extra cuddle time. That will usually take some of the sting away.

These times will pass and it will be something else equally devastating. I know you do, but you need to cherish these times. I remember when our oldest fell off the monkey bars and broke his arm at third grade at the ripe old age of 8. He is now 45 and I won't go into details about what is happening in his life, but it never ends.

She takes after her father who has two speed settings. Asleep and flat out.

[kodiak1]

Speedy recovery for your daughters. Life is full of bumps and bruises some worse than others.

[DLCTEX]

I thought you guys with girls had it easy. Sounds as if they aren't all that different than boys.

[MaryB]

Hate broken bones, but kids heal fast and she will be bouncing around the house tomorrow.

[Duckiller]

Took my daughter to a school outing at a roller rink (roller skates). Watched her change from conventional skates to in-line skates then proceed to break her wrist. Almost as bad as falling out of bed and breaking her thumb. Watching her break bones was no where as bad as watching her be a good soccer goalie. Officials don't do enough to protect goalies. Many players, in my opinion, should have gotten red cards.

[triggerhappy243]

What about the ice cream?

[MtGun44]

Active kids will make their mistakes. Been there, done that, had the casts.
She'll be fine, and you are right - she's tough if she didn't want any pain pills.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, but at that age - they are awash with growth
hormones and these things heal at speeds that us oldsters can just dream about.

Pass on my best wishes, please, sir, to the beautiful and brave young lady.

If she is anything like my daughter was, you will be asking her where her cast went before the week is out. lol

[Bad Water Bill]

Girty is still teary eyed after seeing that little darling.

She did remind me to tell you about the wonderful healing powers of a "HEROS BANDAGE".

Take a large RED bandana and roll it into a long strip.

Place the "HEROS BANDAGE" over the owie and the pain vanishes instantly.

I lost more bandanas to that cause than I can remember but all were worth the loss just seeing a little one go from tears to a BIG :bigsmyl2:

Never had it fail in almost 40 years.

Girty says HI.

Hope she is feeling better soon.
Mine are way at boarding school and Ive had 2 of those calls this year while I have been away with work.
First was 16 year old son spreading his nose across his face while trying out for the 1st grade league team. CT scans, specialists and one operation later he was back together.
Got another a few weeks ago, 13 year old daughter was playing rugby with the boys at school, hurt her ankle, walked around on it for a day before x rays, ct and a specialist visit saw her in hospital having pins and screws inserted.

[Nazgul]

Raising girls.....not for the faint hearted.

Hope she is well soon.

Too cute. Hope she gets better.

[JeffinNZ]

Too cute. Hope she gets better.

Our girls our in the same camp; all plastered up. Hope Barbie is feeling better.

[bangerjim]

We went thru 7 broken bones (arms & legs) with our youngest until he got either old enough and/or wise enough to not do that "stuff" any more!

Hope she is doing well.

Cute lil one! Bet she takes after her mom......right!?!?!?!?!? HA....ha!
