We Wish It Wasn't True

We might seem like the worst parents in the world but I promise we try hard to keep our children safe. Of course Mom and Dad are both fairly clumsy so the kids already had the cards stacked up against them when they were born. We'll anyway a couple of weeks ago Brookley was out jumping on the tramp and feel wrong and came in screaming to Mom. Since she had dislocated her elbow last year we thought it might be that but to be safe Mom took her in to the doctor to get X-rays he looked at it and said it didn't look broken or dislocated so he gave her a sling and sent her on her way. Then after a week and a half of a black and blue elbow and occasional severe pain we decided something wasn't right. We got new X-rays and the radiologist still didn't think it was broken or dislocated, so they sent us up to Valley Children's to possibly get an MRI done. When Mom and Brookley got there the doctor took one look at it and said it was broken and where and then looked at the X-rays and sure enough Brookley had a hairline fracture on her elbow. So they cast it and will keep in on there for ten days. The cool thing about the cast was that it of a brand new material that allows Brookley to go swimming or take a shower with it.

P.S. We aren't letting Brookley jump on the tramp anymore but we thought it would add more to the story showing a picture of the tramp where she hurt her elbow.
