Broken Mater...

Look Mom!

Broken and proud of it!

Tagen and Olivia have a game where they pull all my couch cushions off the couch and line the floor with them. They then proceed to jump from one cushion to another. Well today, something went wrong in the landing phase for Tagen. I had just walked out of the room for a second when I heard a different cry from her that just kept getting worse. I ran back into the room and found her face down on the cushion. I rolled her over expecting to see a bloody mouth or something and Tagen instantly grabbed her left arm. She continued holding it and crying for the next half hour. I knew something was wrong because Tagen doesn't cry about stuff for that long. She's pretty quick to get over the pain and move on. When her fingers started swelling, I called Brad and told him I was taking her to the doctor. So, an hour later and two sets of x-rays later, we have a broken Tagen. She has a buckle fracture on her ulna bone. Once the brace was on, she seemed to do much better with the pain. She's going to be sporting this brace until the beginning of next week and then we'll take her back in and get a cast put on it. She's our child that will keep us on our toes looks like... and with all her experience this early in life, I'm really going to push her towards medical school when she's older. She'd be a fantastic doctor that can truly empathize with all of her patients!
