Our Poor Baby

Lila broke her arm earlier this week:( She fell off the couch and landed on her arm. It was obvious it was broken because of how deformed it looked. Lila cried intensely at first but she calmed down and stayed calm through most of the ordeal. I panicked at first and called Chris. He rushed home from work and we went to the first hospital. That's right, first. We had to go to two hospitals that day because the first one didn't have a pediatric orthopedist. The first hospital x-rayed her arm and confirmed it was broken, both bones actually. Then they transferred us to the hospital downtown. She broke her arm around 11am and her arm wasn't reset and bandaged until 5pm. There was A LOT of waiting! They had to put her to sleep and so she wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything while she was waiting. My poor baby had a terrible day but she was so tough. She stayed calm until they put the IV in. By then, she had enough. However, she woke up happy after the procedure. Some of the first few things she said after waking was "eat", "bacuum" (She loves to clean up her toys and watch me vacuum. She asks to do it every day and multiple times a day), and of course "daddy". She will get a cast put on her arm in a week and it will stay on for 4-6 weeks. So far, this injury has not slowed her down one bit. We are so glad she is happy and not in pain anymore. Here are some pics we took from our phone.

Even though it was a trying experience, it could always be worse. I'm so grateful she will heal and be good as new:) We love you Lila!
