Drama....

Well, we were supposed to spend this weekend watching my Buckeyes beat Don's USC trojans....that didn't go as planned and we were supposed to have a nice football party here at the house...that DID happen but not without some drama before hand.

Saturday afternoon taylor and maddie were in the toy room and as the "story" goes....the story that comes from a five year old and three year old.....is that Maddie was on the chair looking out the window at a bird???!!!!....not sure if that is the truth or what actually happened but both girls still swear by that story so it must be true...while on the chair looking out at the bird she FELL off the chair and landed on her left arm.

Immediately there was a scream that brought both me and don running because it was a HURT scream....not a whine, fight or tired scream!! she continued to cry and could not bend her arm and was in a lot of pain. so we went down to the urgent care and had exrays done. the doctor told us that he couldn 't confirm one way or another if her arm was broken or not....so he was going to send the exrays for someone else to look at. so since saturday we have been icing it and keeping it wrapped and in a sling. She is NOT using that arm...just doing everything with her right arm.

well, we got the results of that today and she DID BREAK her left arm. so, on thursday we go to a specialist to see if we need a cast or what the best plan of action is. The trick is that the specialist is in downtown denver and now i get to coordinate taking maddie there and having taylor at school and all that. I guess i know i won't have too much time to be worried about don. A good point my mom made today......the way things turned out....I AM glad that I am going to be HERE on thursday and not leaving on Wednesday with Don to Africa!! I guess things do all work out for a reason huh.

Jarrod (our nephew) is here and he and Don leave tomorrow morning. I am praying for don's safety and his heart....he hates leaving his baby here esp. when she is hurt!!! Emily sent Taylor a shirt from her college....Taylor University....she is so proud of her new shirt....she told everyone at school today...that her FRIEND EMILY sent this to her IN THE MAIL!!! So pray for Maddie....taylor broke her left elbow when she was three....so four days before she actually turned four....maddie followed suit with her broken arm.....the joys of motherhood!! any tips on how to keep children from actually jumping on and off furniture...man!!
