In case you didn't hear, Emily broke her arm a week or so ago. While she was in the back yard she was walking across this plastic slide when she slipped and landed on her right forearm.



She broke the same bone (opposite arm) that she did 7 years ago, almost to the day! XRays taken that evening show that the break was not "clean" and a shard of bone still lodged in her muscle.




The next day... off to get a cast!



After the doc tries to set the bone he puts a cast on and then takes another xray... only to show that the bone didn't move at all!



The next day, Emily gets admitted into the hospital so they can set (complete the break) the bone and recast it.



Afterward, they take another xray.. now it looks straight.



Unfortunately, the timing means she is going to miss out on some swimming, basketball and cycling but all in all, she's doing very well. Thanks to all the well-wishers that have been stopping by and calling!

I love these pics! I came across some pictures of Junior when he was very, very little and it reminded me of these pictures. Here are the mothers of, and the kids from 2020.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. I can't believe how lame I was... I left the original alt text on that file!

That picture was taken in Arlington, Texas in December 2001.
