...we all have done it, right? How many stairs can you skip? Well, Lauren was asking herself that same question last night and decided to see. "Three" she figured, but what she didn't count on was her hand slipping as she skipped said steps. Head over heels she went down the stairs and ended up on her back on the landing. Initially she was pretty banged up, her arms were scratched and a little bruised, and she complained of her forearms hurting. I figured, well of course your arms are going to hurt, you just fell down the stairs! They didn't look obviously broken to me and she could squeeze my fingers so I was going to just put her to bed and see how she was in the morning. Mr. Mom had other thoughts on the matter and off to the hospital they went.
Now 9 times out of 10 I am right about the kids and their injuries or lack there of. This was that one time when I was wrong. They took 8 films in the ER and found something that may suggest that she broke her elbow near a growth plate. So they wrapped her arm in a temporary cast, put it in a sling and gave Craig instructions to call Dr. Blotter for him to take a look at it. Lucky for us, Dr. Blotter is also known to us as Brother Blotter, the Young Men's President at church, so Lauren was quite thrilled to know that she would get to see his office in the near future. She was eager to get up this morning and go to school to show off her newest accessory to anyone who noticed.
