Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones


Halea broke both of the bones in her lower leg last night. She was on our toy in the back yard and fell. I knew right away that it was broken. When I took her to the ER the Dr said he thought it was just a bad bruise, but I knew better. She didn't cry like you would expect someone with a broken leg to cry. When the Dr examined her, she just sat there and didn't make a fuss while he was probing her broken leg. She's in a splint that she hates! We have an appt with an orthopedic surgeon this morning to put her in a cast. We'll see how that goes.

This is all really weird. In the last month, I've been the best mom that I've ever been and this past week two of my kids have sustained serious injuries. Maybe they were better off fending for themselves. So, I'm accepting that the mother of the year award is off the table for me this year.

Poor Halea! Don't worry, these things happen to everyone. You're a good Mom!

OH MY GOODNESS! Thitho, that's terrible! I'm so sorry! I will have to hear the whole story. You are a good mom. Maybe these things are happening to help you remember what's most important. Or maybe they would have happened anyway. I'm so sorry, Thitho!

So glad you trusted your gut and knew what you knew even when the doc said differently.
