Jaylee's Broken Arm

Jaylee's Broken Arm!!!

Oh Jaylee...

What a way to spend your first Spring evening... in the ER!!

She got to go to The Castle Roller Skating with a friend, Emma, but tripped coming off of the skate floor.

Luckily, Emma's parents were great and took her right to the ER. She was in a lot of pain & we could tell she was initally crying, but by the time we arrived at the hospital, she was as tough as nails!!! Her left forearm just didn't look right but it was covered in a tight sock and ice, so we were hoping for the best. When they took Jaylee for her xrays, I saw for the first time just how much pain she was in, trying to move her arm and hold it still for the xrays. So, then I touched it a little bit, and could actually feel the bones on the bottom side of her forearm... yikes!!!

Here we're waiting to see the Dr after having some xrays done.

Jeninbelle kept telling her BFF that she wasn't going to be mad if Jaylee told her what to do tpday b/c she knew that Jaylee needed her help now! We had just sat down to eat when we got the call that we had to go to the hospital. I told Emma's folks that I wanted Jenni and her friend to eat a little first b/c we just had just got to the pizza joint and I knew they wouldn't be able to eat at the hospital. Jenni literally could not eat... se kept telling us how worried she was and wanted to go right away.

Until I grabbed her a brownie to eat on the way... she managed to eat that just fine!!!

This was our first trip to the ER at Lancaster General, and hopefully our last!

They have cute pediatric rooms thought!!

Then, we started tallying up all the times Jaylee's needed a Dr since she was born... she's had TERRIBLE croup and asthma issues, reocurring ear infections as an infant for over a year, blood work for a GI bug that lasted over a week when we first moved to PA, Pneumonia atleast once, stitches to the bottom lip after falling at Dutch Wonderland, glue to her top lip after Georgia bit her, an ear infection requiring 3 lines of antibiotics this past year, visits to the Ortho Dr b/c she was limping and having her leg go numb all fall, Strep throat for 2 mos straight, and now a broken ulna and radius bone!!!!

Good Golly!!!

We were afraid they might have to sedate her in some way b/c it felt so bad, so we wouldn't let her eat. She was relieved when the Dr told her they wouldn't set the bones until Monday so she could have some cookies!!

By the goofiness, you'd think she already received her codeine... NOPE!!! When she is around her Daddy, she can laugh about any situation we are in and just enjoy herself. Jason is truely remarkable with the girls. She's acutally waiting for her pain meds in this pic b/c the pain was getting worse after they put the "fake splint" on her.

After Jaylee received her Tylenol with Codeine, we told her that it would make her sleepy and that we would help her get to bed as soon as we got home. Then we paked up our stuff and headed out the door... Jennibelle grabbed onto Jaylee and asked "Are you tired yet?" (Literally 10 secs after taking the med). Then we took 10 steps down the hall and she stopped and asked again. Then 1 minute later as we were walking out the hospital doors, Jenni asked again. Then as we approached the car, she asked again. Then as we drove out of the parking lot, she asked again. She was VERY CONCERNED!!!!!
