Our first Break

It finally happened to us. I thought there was a slight chance that we were going to get through our kids without a broken bone. NOPE. Last night we were getting ready to take Colton to scouts, and the kids were out in front racing. Whitley was in the back of Landon's pickup, and Kennedy was on the bumper. They were going to jump off, run across the street, and back! When I saw what was about to happen, I said "Don't jump off of there, you're gonna get hurt". Then I hear Colton yell, "GO". The girls jump, and Kennedy's feet slip out from underneath her. She landed on her hands, and then onto her face! For any of you that know Kennedy, whenever he hits her head, she pukes! So I ran over to her, picked her up to see the damage. Her gums were bleeding, and so was her nose. Somehow she didn't yack. She just kept complaining that her arm hurt. We put some ice on it, and gave her some Motrin, and decided to just watch and see. She favored it all night, and still again this morning. She can't rotate her wrist at all! So I take her to the Dr. and sure enough, she fractured her left wrist. They put her in a splint for a week, and then we go back next Wed. for the cast. So much for swimming the rest of the summer. Kennedy is so excited that she has a cast. I don't think she completely understands that it's gonna get really annoying to wear that for the next 5 weeks!Getting her x-rays
