So right after we took these great pictures on Saturday, Meg had a little accident. We’re not quite sure what happened, but Michael, my mom & I were standing at the computer looking at and choosing the pictures we wanted. She was running around behind us and all of a sudden, she started sobbing. My mom got to her first and she showed my mom her wrist and said “Boo-boo” We all figured she would do what she normally does- just shake it off after a little TLC. Well, not this time. She would not stop crying and wouldn’t use her hand or arm. As I was holding her, she was holding her wrist and really seemed upset and in pain. Her wrist started to swell, so after a lot of debate, we decided to take her to the Emergency Room, just to be safe rather than sorry. We spent about 2 ½ hours in the Emergency Room, took X-rays, and found out that she probably sprained it- we’re assuming that she fell, hands out and sprained it. The nurses and the PA we saw were great- she really enjoyed the coloring book and cookies, as you can see from the pictures below. Then, the PA & Daddy wrapped her wrist in the littlest ace bandage you ever saw, which she kept on for all of about 20 minutes. As soon as we were discharged, she started using her arm again! We got home and had comfort food for a kid- cheeseburgers and ice cream- yum! We’re certainly glad that she’s ok.

Tough afternoon for our little patient but she sure bounced back quick!(Harder for Mom and Dad, I know) Who would have thought a toothbrush, blanket, crayons and cookies could bring so much comfort for her?
