An exciting evening.

September 5, 2008

We had a little excitement around here last night. Around 5:30 Mia was entertaining us with her dancing skills which tend to include a bit of gymnastics also. She attempted a handstand which turned into a side roll and came up crying. She did something to her arm and we still haven’t figured out what happened exactly. We think she landed on a My Little Pony. Anyway, she hurt her arm and by 8:30 it was still hurting enough that Saylor decided it was time for a trip to the Dr. I’m glad I didn’t have to make that decision. We went to Acute Kids Care and spent about an hour and a half freezing in the little exam room. Mia had an X-ray done on her arm and luckily it was NOT broken, just sprained so she still got a sling for it. She has to keep it on until Monday….then we start ballet on Tues. It should be a FUN weekend! She has complained about it still hurting this morning but still wants to go to playgroup. What a trooper!

Here are some photos of our little adventure. Taken with my iPhone (excuse the quality) :)

I’m not sure why but being able to see my child’s bones like this was a little emotional. It makes her look so tiny and fragile. I’m so thankful she is o.k. :)
