Mackenzie fell Saturday night while we were at the neighbor hood beach area and splash pad. She was climbing up on these bars and was probably about 5 feet in the air and feel. She cam running to me and said she had fallen. Nope no one else saw and so I did not really know what she had done. She was crying but I did not think she had really done anything. Great mom I know. Any how after a few minutes of her not really being able to do anything with her arm and crying that it hurt so bad we decided it was time for the ER. So James took her and I had the other 2. They did X-rays and it was broken and they had to wait for an orthopedic surgeon to come look at the x-ray. She broke one of the bones between her shoulder and elbow. The humorous bone and the fracture went through part of the growth plate. So surgery was needed to fix her up. So she stayed in the hospital Saturday night and James and I both stayed up there with her. thank goodness the Boney's were here visiting because they were able to stay with James and Bethannie. Sunday morning she was wheeled into surgery at about 8:15 a.m. and they put 2 pins in through her elbow to hold bones in place. we were told we had the best surgeon in the hospital so that was good. Surgery went for about 45 min and when she was out they came and let us know it had all gone well. She would be out of cheer leading for the year now, and she would baby her arm for about 6 months. She was very out of it when she got back to the room. She had taken in a stuffed animal into surgery with her and they put a cast on her leopard as well. it was very cute. the hospital was wonderful and they did a great job of making sure Mackenzie was doing OK. We brought her home on Sunday evening about 5:00. She was in a lot of pain but was very excited to see her brother and sister. She has been on Tylenol with codeine and now is barely needing it. She is really quite the trooper and she is funny watching her with this huge cast on her arm. She just tried doing a somersault. No one said she was the smartest thing. but she did it and thought it was funny. Since Bethannie and James are camping this week with my family it has been just the 2 of us most of the time. I am glad I have been able to do whatever she needs and focus on her. She makes me laugh and I will treasure the time I get with her even though it was for a bad reason. we were all suppose to be camping this week but oh well. Camping will be there the next time.
