Ellie decided she needed some attention :)

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Ellie got her cast on yesterday. I couldn't believe how fast they were at putting it on! It took them maybe 5 minutes to wrap her up. She cried the whole time, but mostly because she didn't know what to think of these two nurses putting stuff on her arm. She did great though!


Last night I was sitting on my computer working on pictures. I had put Ellie down for bed, but she wasn't going to sleep. All of a sudden there was a big bang. Ken and I ran in there as fast as we could and tried to console her. I gave her a hug and said "This is how Arden broke her arm!" Then I looked down at her right arm and knew right then that something was wrong. I took her to the Emergency Room at 10:00 pm and didn't get home till 12:00. She got a temporary cast on until tomorrow afternoon when we go in to get the real one. The nurse put princess stickers on her sling so it would be more exciting. Ellie was happy last night after we got home and she got to eat the popsicle the nurse gave her.

Your girls are so adorable! How fun to have 3 girls! Poor Ellie! I'm just waiting for Kylie to break something, she is so accident prone!

Jennie said...

Oh, I am so sorry. That isn't very fun. I hope she feels better soon.

Tami said...

OMGosh! How sad for Ellie! But now she and Arden will have the same story to tell!

Brindy! Oooooooh Nooooooo! I am sooooo sorry. I can truly say I know exactly how you feel!! It is funny that Arden and Ellie are living in parrallel universes or something! Poor little thing. The good news is that Arden didn't mind her cast at all and was actually a little sad when it came off...hopefully ellie only needs hers for 3 weeks like Arden did.

The poor little dear! Cameron broke his leg at only 20 months and I felt like Mother of the Year! It makes for a good show n tell now though! I think you may have crossed paths at the ER with my niece who also broke her arm-the same night!! Check out her blog (The Brophy Family) listed on my link list and see if she looks familiar! What a small little world of broken arms-hope she heals quickly!

Sad... I think these kind of things are harder for the parents. I hope she gets it off in time for Summer swimming.

I love the hot pink!! Nothing like a midnight run to the ER. Kids are so resilient she will be back on her hands in no time.

Oh! That is so awful! I hate to see little kids in casts! At least they could do it in pink!
