Chance, Put your shoes on...oh, already on...good

Yep, youngest daughter did it again.  After last weekend's 'broken elbow' scare, the youngest decided to try again.  She sure is persistent.

Wearing a one piece 'slip-slidey' pajamas, she tripped over the Cookie, the smaller of our dogs (45 pounds).  Landed face first on our tile floor and started crying.  Off to the hospital we rushed.  Yep, snapped that left arm just underneath the joint like a tree branch.  Now she is upstairs sitting in her chair, watching cartoons, and is in a boatload of pain.

For a short time the doctors were preparing to stick an IV in her to start a morphine drip in case orthopedics decided they needed surgery.  Yes, it was that bad.  Fortunately, it didn't come to that.  Ortho said a sling to hold the bone in place is all that is necessary.

Unfortunately, the children's hospital was quite busy.  Appears some form of flu is going around up here and the place was packed with kids having "The Linda Blair Experience".  Pleasant it was not.

So, after getting back around 1100 I headed up to the 24 hour pharmacy (not exactly nearby, but relatively close) and had her pain meds filled.  Now, it is mid-day Tuesday.  Marie and I are both tired, and the little one is still in pain.  Not much we can do, just weather it through...poor thing.
