Morgan's Tough Break!

Well, we have our first ever Gabriel broken bone - or FRACTURE, as Morgan would like us to call it. On Saturday, Morgan fell off a swing at the park (yes, she was swinging very high, but not goofing around), when she slipped off and used her arms to brace her fall. She came running at me with limp arms - all shook up and crying. Dan and I waited overnight, but it became apparent that she needed to be seen first thing on Monday. Sure enough, the X-rays showed a buckle fracture on her radius. Four or so weeks in the cast. She had some anxiety going into the casting, but actually did extremely well. She is getting a lot of attention, which I'm sure will last a little while, but is embarassed about wearing a cast. All is well and it could have been a lot worse, so we are thankful! Now, we just have to deal with the inconvenience of having the darn thing on her arm - I'm sure others out there can sympathize and understand fully what we are going to be going through. She already discovered an alternate use for her chopstick - a good scratcher for a hard to get itch!!
