Anyone who knows Hannah knows that she's an active girl. She loves to run, wrestle, jump, tackle, fall. The surprising thing is that we've had 4 1/2 years without incident; until about a month ago when she broke her nose, and until Sunday when she broke her elbow.
We had some friends over and one of the kids was playing around with Hannah and tossed her on her bed. Hannah came out of her room white as a ghost and screaming. At one point she even said "this is the worstest time of my life" (which actually made me laugh.)
Her elbow swelled up and she still wasn't bending it on Monday morning so we took her in. Four hours and three doctors appointments later we were on our way home with Hannah in a bright pink cast. She'll be in the cast for 4 weeks which doesn't sound long to any of you I'm sure, but to me it sounds looonnggg. No riding bikes, no sledding, no horse playing, no hitting brother with the casted arm. Hello, have you met my child??? It won't be easy. Although I will say that she's been a lot more docile since the incident and she's even been encouraging Caden to stop jumping off the arm of our chairs.
So, now I'm back in the mode of taking her potty, getting her dressed, helping her take the lids off the markers, you name it. She still has pretty limited mobility in her fingers but I'm hoping that will be getter as the swelling goes down.
Never a dull moment in the Wassenaar household!
