Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
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.
Poor girl! 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. And of course it was always my dd, because my ds is the calm one.

Poor girlie (and Mama)! 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....
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!
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.
