Like Mother Like Daughter


So in taking this statement to its most literal translation...Amelia broke her wrist yesterday. (For those of you that don't know, I have broken my arm (4 times...twice on each), my ankle, and numerous fingers and toes). She was at the table and was trying to get down. She misjudged how close she was to the edge of the chair and fell off.

After x-rays, lots of crying and 3 hours at the ER...it turns out she fractured both her radius and ulna (the two bones in the forearm). It is called a buckle fracture which is good because it should heal quickly.

She is in a temporary cast right now and we have to go on Tuesday or Wednesday to get her real cast put on. She will have to wear it for 4 weeks.

So that's the news...hopefully she can stop at one break and not have to try and surpass my record!

Oh No! Sorry, Amelia, that sucks. But you at least get to say you broke a bone. The best I have is a strained ligament.
