I return to a find a broken arm!!!!

I had the opportunity to go to Arizona and be with my mom and dad in the hospital. My father suffered a mild stroke and scared me to death....so off I went to be with my family. It was good to have my brother and his wife so close and able to respond. It is hard being away from your folks when you are miles away. As a side note....grandpa is now back home and doing fantastic. He had almost a 2 week stay in the hospital. Not fun, so he his so glad to be back home.

When I left Arizona on Sunday and the plane was just pushing back from the gate, Kevin texts me and tells me he thinks Brinley arm is broken. I quickly text back and tell him he better bring he to the airport and we will go to urgent care after that.

To make a long, long story short. After three hours in the ER and an eye opening experience int the ER for Brinley. She had x-rays, was splinted and slinged and two days later was casted at Childrens. She will be in a cast for 1 month. It was fun to have the attention and bright new shinning cast...and a day and a half later, she was complaining as to when she would get it off.

It will be fun to see how we will keep it from getting wet. All they do is paint and glue in Kindergarten, so we will see. A box of wet wipes on her desk should do the trick.
