Day 180/365 - June 29

When I got home from work this afternoon, Avery and Kathleen were playing the Wii with Alexandra. After she left, Avery and Kathleen continued playing while I worked at the desk in our bedroom. It wasn't a few minutes before I heard a blood curling scream. You know the kind...something BAD has happened.

I jump up, rush into the den, and find Avery curled up on the floor. She was trying to sit on the arm of the chair (a no-no to begin with), missed it, and fell backwards...hitting her arm on the corner of our coffee table/teak trunk all the way down. It was the backside of her upper arm and she had limited movement, couldn't put pressure on it, etc. Needless to say, a trip to the doctor was in order.

Based on past experience, we knew it was best to just head to PriMed since it was after hours. They took x-rays and based on those, the doctor thought there was "widening in the growth plate" that indicated a break. So, they wrapped it in a split and put Avery in a sling.

Looks like we are heading to the orthopedic doctor tomorrow.
