Last Friday, about 5 minutes from the end of the last recess of the last day before Christmas break, Hannah slipped from the monkey bars and landed on her hand.
The result:
Not the best picture, but she got what is called a colles fracture – when the arm breaks right where it meets the wrist.
Major ouch.
Hannah and I spent about 6.5 hours at the ER on Friday.
Super fun.
She was a trooper though.
A nurse brought her a stuffed elephant and these:
The worst parts for me was when I picked her up at school and felt her arm through her sweat shirt and realized it was not the normal shape it should be, when I called my husband to tell him we were on our way to the ER, and when I had to watch the doctor put her bones back in place (which Hannah was not awake for).
I think Hannah’s worst parts were the pain from the break and having to get an IV. She did not like that one bit!
Her arm is in a splint for 2-3 weeks then we will move to a regular cast.
Hannah is thinking pink is a good cast color.
And we definitely won’t let this dampen our holidays!

Wow, I love that last pic. What a beautiful dress! Kids heal quickly, and I'm sure she'll be back to her normal activities in no time at all. What a trooper! Still I can only imagine how scary that phone call from the school must have been :0
Aww, poor thing! I hope and pray that it heals beautifully and that it doesn't dampen her spirit or will! Merry Christmas!
Oh no Hannah!! That's not good, poor thing. :( Santa needs to bring her an extra special boo boo gift. XOXO

Oh my gosh that looks painful. Poor Hannah! I hope it doesn't bother her too much.
I still can't believe that happened! What a bummer.
Glad she's handling it well.
Awww.. bless her heart. What an awful way to start her Christmas break! Glad she's feeling better now! Merry Christmas my friend! :) xoxoxo
Oh ouchie ouch!!!!! Poor thing! I hope the pain isn't going to be bad while you wait for a cast. I wonder why they're waiting??? I hope you all have a super Christmas!!!
Oh Sweetie!! What a thing to happen :(. I so agree Pink will be the best!
This is so scary! I'm glad she's okay, and it seemed from the pictures on FB that she did SO well at the hospital! I hope it heals aok.
I cringed when I saw the pic on FB. I know that hurt!
Ah so sorry! But she still looks beautiful in her dress:)
Oh, that looks painful. I hope that by now she is doing much better.
