So, does Bella Rue LOVE grade 2?

Well, it was only her first day, but it COULD have gone better! An after school monkey bar mishap caused her some grief.

She fell and broke her upper arm. She did a really good job of it too. We are waiting for the the orthopedic specialist to call so he can set and pin it. This will be the first time any of my kids has even been put under. Yikes.

On a lighter note...did y'all know that a 7 yr old on morphine can sleep standing up? It's true!

Oh! I remember when Lyss broke her forearm when she was 10. She broke the major bone in her forearm and bent (?) the smaller bone. They had to put her to sleep too and did a "closed reduction" which meant they were just going to push and pull it into place before casting it. She woke up crying, which was heartbreaking in itself.

I know Bella is going to be ok, but how are YOU taking it?
