alysee Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) This week was supposed to be our first week back at school. The first day went well. We went to the park with my youngest 5 kids to run off some energy after dinner. Everyone went running for the car to go home unfortunately my 5yo tripped and broke her arm. Took her to the ER but our small town only has radiologists working until 5pm so they told us to go to the city hospital. 6 hours later we come home with a cast and an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. The appointment was yesterday and we found out she needs surgery ASAP. On our way back I get a call from my husband that my 9yo fell off his bike and he was bringing him into the ER because he got a lot of gravel in his scraped legs and hands. Sigh. Hoping the long weekend is injury free here. Edited September 2, 2023 by alysee 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freesia Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yikes! That reminds me of when I was waiting in the waiting room for my dd to get done some out patient procedure and I got a call that my ds had banged his head on a railing and was in the emergency room of the same hospital getting stitches. Ah, parenting young kids! I hope your dd’s surgery goes smoothly and that you can catch your breath. Don’t worry about the school delay one minute.

ktgrok Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Yikes! So sorry. I know when I was a kid my mom threatened to put me in a box with a red ribbon around it so I'd stop getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Oh no! I have two boys who have done nothing worse than fishing hooks. My DD on the other hand has had anaesthetic twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alysee Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 9yo is feeling better. The 5yo is having surgery on Tuesday afternoon. It's been so hard keeping her contained and not running around. She is feeling okay about the cast overall. Hoping in 2 weeks to get back to school. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I was just checking in. I remember one time I had a child admitted on 7th floor at the children’s hospital and one down in ER needing stitches. Fun times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
