Accident Prone Children
It occurs to me that my children are very accident prone. About 9pm last night, as the girls were heading downstairs to bed, Taylor tripped on the stairs and fell to the landing. Unfortunately she used to right hand to break her fall and fell on her wrist at an angle. It doesn’t appear to be broken but she is in quite a bit of pain (we almost took her to the ER last night) so Holly is taking her to the doctor today for x-rays and such.
On a lighter note, I actually got to use the sentence “No, this is not the same daughter that pulled the refrigerator over on herself” in an e-mail to my team last night. Parenting gets more interesting every day.
UPDATE: It appears to be a compound wrist fracture. We’ll know for sure after the radiologists get back to our primary care physician with their opinion.
UPDATE 2: We have received confirmation that it is a fractured radius in her wrist. Luckily they said she should heal well. Thanks for all the well wishes!
