My kids are at my aunt's for Spring Break and apparently my six year old daughter fell off her bike and may have broken her arm. Poor thing. Am waiting for my mom to call and let me know if it's simply dislocated or broken.

I hate this. I know that fractures in children are common, but the scary part is knowing that she's scared out of her little mind. I guess she keeps shutting her eyes tightly and taking deep breaths, repeating: "I will never ride a bike in my life again!"

Boy, her dad is going to be pissed. I think I'm more scared to call him and tell him the news.

awww

I know... grrrr. I wish they weren't so far away so I could be there with her!

Poor kid, that's gotta be rough for her AND for you too. Keep us posted at to what happens.

AzureStarr said:

Aww I'm sorry Azure. Kids will be kids though, and these things are going to happen whether you are there or not. I'm sure she's in good hands and if the father gets pissed tell him to go suck it!

I know and it is... poor girl. I'll keep ya posted. Just trying to keep myself busy while I wait for the call.

Exactly... in fact, I may just quote your entire post when speaking to him.



I may be driving there tomorrow though if Haley's cousin caused this. His parents don't pay him any attention and he has some really serious issues. I heard that last night he was riding his bike by them and kicking their tires out from under them and saying, "Drive by!!"... when he was told not to do that he replied, "That's what we do in Detroit." The little fuck.

AzureStarr said:

That's the hard part, waiting for the phone call.

AzureStarr said:

What a brat!!

psychodelicide said:

It is the WORST! In an hour I go get my hair fixed and I hope to have a call before then. Damned stylist was supposed to go a shade darker brown and I walked out with orange roots that glowed and auburn hair. The signal on my phone doesn't work so well in there.

AzureStarr said:

Just another reason why I can't have kids. If some little shit did that to my kid I would beat him senseless! I'm just not meant to have children!

CarrieLee said:

Oh, trust me, there will be hell to pay if he did cause it. Although, I may not have to do anything... I think my mom will get to him before I do.

You need to have kids... we need a little Carrie in this world!

AzureStarr said:

You're crazy! And I would be a terrible mom, I can't do it.

Oh my! Give Haley a big hug, and get her back on that bike.

One of the most heart-touching things I see working at a hospital is when kids come in. Some of them cry and are scared and I work to try to make their experience a positive one.

But some of the kids come in and are so incredibly brave. You can tell they are scared, but they are so strong. That is one of the few things I see at the hospital that makes me teary every time I see it.

And Sag is right on.

Give Haley a big hug and get her back on her bike.

I hope she is ok, AZURE!

I broke my leg when I was 2 years old.. yeah! dancing on the high chair and fell off..

Remember, accidents happen, no how much parents worry.. kids will be kids..

Thanks, guys... they put a splint on her arm. It is broken in two places. She goes into the hospital here tomorrow morning at 8:00 for the pediatric bone surgeon to take a look and determine whether or not she requires surgery to correct it or if it is something that can be aligned and heal with a cast on. The doctor at the emergency where she was didn't want to touch her in case he made a wrong decision, considering she is a small child and her bones are still growing... sooo...

She is on her way home, I have to get a bed ready for her on the couch so she can sleep there. She said she didn't want to sleep in her bed. She's all doped up on pain killers... lol... pretty wooooozy.

Unfortunately, she broke her right arm and she's right handed. It oughta be interesting to see her eat and function normally.

Mom is relieved and can smile again... my baby sounds fine. That's what worried me... her fear.

Gonna go make that bed!

home with her mom will be the best place for her

sending healing vibes her way

Awww... sorry to hear that Azure. Hope she's all better soon.

Thank god are kids are tougher than us i say. I'm sure she'll be okay. You can tell her she'll have lots of fun having her friends sign her plaster cast.

I hope she's okay, Azure...

At least your kids don't poop in the pool.

Kids will do that!

She is! Didn't you read the post above?

althom said:

I just did. Poor sweetie!

im sorry sweetie thats hard when the babies get hurt for what its worth, my son broke his right arm last year.. it hurt like HELL and it was horribly itchy in the cast, but the doctors were great, things healed on their own - so no surgery was needed, and eventually, he learned to write with his left hand

best wishes to the both of you hope everything turns out well

oh, i forgot to say... the whole bathroom thing ? that can be very difficult in the beginning have fun

Im glad shes doing better




at least she will get to be home and be with her mom
