Kimber breaks her arm (again)

 One Friday afternoon in September, I got a call from the school nurse at the girls school. He told me that Kimber fell off the money bars, and based on her reaction and limited movement that is was possible it was broken. There was about an hour left of school, and since he said she had calmed down, I told him to have her finish out the day (mom of the year, right here). We monitored her arm over the weekend, having her wear the brace she had from 2 years ago when she had a buckle fracture in the same arm. It was a little swollen and still hurt when I touched it, but she mostly played around like normal and didn't ever really complain or cry about it.

The next Monday I sent her to school and tried to get her into orthopedics to get an appointment just to make sure it wasn't broken. They wouldn't see her unless she had an xray done from the urgent care or er. So I checked her out of school and took her to urgent care, where they did an xray. They did confirm that she had broken her arm. A buckle fracture in her left arm, pretty much exactly in the same spot she had 2 years ago.

They splinted it there for us, and I was able to get her into orthopedics the next day to get it casted.

Still playing soccer! We have been wrapping it during games to soften the blow if she hits anyone. But lets be honest, she doesn't play that hard at her age to worry about it.

She has to wear the cast for 4 weeks. At first she didn't want anyone to sign it, but has given in more and more as time goes on.

One day while I was napping on the couch in between soccer games, Kimber decided to sign it herself. I don't know it you can tell, but she had to basically so it upside down and right to left from the angle of holding the marker in her right hand. I was impressed!

She didn't want Jaxson to sign it. So I told him it would be funny if he snuck in after she fell asleep (she sleeps hard) and signed it. He did that last night and she has yet to find out.
