Lauren broke her arm on Saturday evening. The kids were all dancing adn singing and actuallty picking up their playroom before bed.... and bam, I heard Lauren fall and then start crying.

My mother is out of town... so I called a friend (who I met by accosting her in the grocery store because it was school hours and she had kids with her in the store lol) and she said to bring the boys right over. So I did. They took x-rays, but the doc said that with kids they can miss fractures because of so much cartilege. Anyway... that's exactly what they did. So Sunday around noon I got a call that I needed to bring her back in for a splint.

She is ok, but her arm hurts. I guess it's a fracture in the elbow, and she can't move her arm very well.

Tomorrow I need to call the orthodepic doc and set up an appointment to have her seen.

3 boys with NO breaks... and my poor little girlie!!! :( I am officially out of the running for Mom of the Year.

OK, to make this a little on topic... she did make me make her some slings to match outfits.... and I had to make up another shirred dress for her yesterday because I can't get any of her tops with sleeves over the splint on her arm.

Oh, poor Lauren!! :hug: Hope her arm gets to feeling better soon.

I always think Riplee has it hard with two roughhouse brothers . . . but Lauren wins hands down with three brothers.

Hope you get some rest and can relax too. :)

Oh sorry to hear that, poor thing :(

Poor girl! :eyes: I hope her arm starts feeling better really soon!! I always called this stuff "murphy's law" because once my dh left (he's Navy) is when everything happened. :rolleyes: And of course it was always my dd, because my ds is the calm one.

Awww, poor thing! I hope it heals soon :heart:

:big hug: for the both of you.

Poor little thing!

I hope she realizes just how spoiled ROTTEN she is having a mama to make her clothes to coordinate with her broken arm :p

Poor girlie (and Mama)! :hug: I think it's pretty common for hairline fractures to not show up right away. My Ethan had one when he was 2 and it went undetected in the first set of xrays. Four days later, when he still wasn't walking on it they repeated the xrays and saw the break.

FWIW, fractures heal quickly with kids. My ds' leg cast was off in just over 3 weeks. This same ds had a broken arm 6 weeks ago (very bad break, had surgery/pins) and we just got the cast/pins out this week. Much quicker than I had expected....

poor thing! at least she will be stylin in her slings;)

sending quick healing vibes:)

What a little trooper. And poor mama. Everytime I hear my kids fall I wonder. "Well did someone break a bone?" Nice job on making her some matching slings. That certainly puts you back in the running for Mom of the year!

Your poor dd. Big hugs for her.

Landon broke his leg when he was 4. He spent 4+ months in a cast.. The kids deal with it better than the adults :rolleyes:

I'm so sorry for your dd. I hope she heals quickly.

:( We haven't done a bone yet :knock, knock: but we've done stitches. It does always seem to happen when Daddy's gone, doesn't it? Hang in there.

Oh poor Lauren! Hope she heals quickly!

Oh, poor girlie :big hug: hope she'll feel better soon

Oh no, poor lauren. I hope she heals quickly.

I'm sorry that happened. But what a sweet mama you are to sew matching slings for her. I'd love a SNS if she feels up to modeling.

Poor thing. (both of you. :) ) How is she doing now? When will she get her cast?

Aw, poor girl. Hope she feels better soon.
