It all started when Rob came home for lunch. We were moving a bed from the Expedition into the garage, and the box spring slid and crushed two of my fingers. It hurt so bad, but I didn't cry. I may have yelled a little though..
Then a few hours later, I took Hailey to the doctor. We all had a cold a few weeks ago, and everyone got better except Hailey. She's been coughing and wheezing still. They gave her a breathing treatment, and she sounded much better afterward. He said if it's a recurring thing, she may have asthma. So we have to give her breathing treatments at home for the next week, then take her back in to see how she's doing.
After we got home from the doctor, I was feeding Hailey and Chloe went out in the backyard to play. All of a sudden I heard her scream. I ran out and she was laying on the ground under the swing set. I took her inside and got her cleaned up. I looked at her arm that she said was hurting and couldn't really see anything wrong, so I cuddled her up on the couch and turned on Little Einsteins while we waited for Rob to get home from work. About 15 minutes later, he got home, and she was still complaining that her arm was hurting, which was very unusual for her. He looked at it and said he thought it might be dislocated, so we loaded up and headed to the emergency room. They took x-rays and determined that she fractured her humerus. They put her arm in a splint and we have to take her in next week to get a cast. She'll probably be in the cast for about 6 weeks. I feel so bad, she's the one who enjoys playing in the pool the most, and now she won't be able to :( She doesn't seem to be in too much pain, and she's still happy and smiley, so that's good. It was her right arm too, so that really sucks. She's been trying so hard to do things with her left hand and is very determined to still do things on her own. She's a trooper!
