What happens when you don't listen to mom...

Mommy ALWAYS says don't run in the house. Mommy also says pick up your toys, don't leave your stuff in the floor! And what happens when you don't listen? Usually mom just yells again and that's it. BUT here is the REASON she says all those things.....







Last night K was running to her room and she slipped on a book that was in the floor and fell down, landing on a doll house chair. It hurt pretty bad but she could move it and she stopped crying after a few minutes. But she had a hard time sleeping. This morning I took her to the ER. It isn't broken. It is swollen and it still hurts. So now she has a splint and a sling. Until Monday, and then we go see the pediatrician.

She is NOT happy about wearing that thing!! She cried after they put it on and she found out she couldn't take it off. She can hardly do anything by herself. I told her that means everyone has to be nice to her and help her do stuff. That helped a little. The powdered donuts I got as a treat helped too. That is powdered sugar all over the sling. I can't imagine what it will look like by Monday!!

She is fine now. See?




I thank God that this is our first injury! Over 10 years and no one has ever been to the ER for anything other than a fever or ear infection. No cuts and no broken bones. Thank you JESUS!! Hope this is our last one...how likely you think that is???
