I'm glad to hear she's rebounding so well! Kids are just amazing that way! I wonder when and why we lose that ability? Tell her to take it easy on you for a while. I like to set a one-ER-visit per year limit on my kids. I threaten any further injuries with me fixing it with wood glue and a staple gun. Keeps the bigger ones out of trouble pretty well... (Kidding, I swear!) If it's any confort, last week the Poose dislocated both his top front teeth and badly bruised his lips and head when he fell off the porch at grandma's. And I had to drive 10 hours to get there. I was a nervous bi#*@ the whole way (thank goodness my mom understood). Good job on clear thinking and self-control in an emergency. Professionally, I wish more people had those skills. And pregnant too? I bow at your feet. Poor Laylee and poor Mom (and Dad)! I’m glad to hear she’s rebounding so well!

Poor little girl! Okay, I can actually solve the How To Keep A Cast Dry mystery - are there any farm supply stores near you? If so, get someone to run over and buy a box of milking gloves. Gingerly pull one of those bad boys over her poor little arm and voila, she can have a bath. They are LONG! UG! Poor little girl!

Broken wrist for my little one a few months back. At this age, they handle it really well, and they heal really quickly and solidly. I hope Laylee feels better soon, I swear it's almost harder on us moms than it is on the kids! I broke my wrist in almost the exact same way she did the year previously, so I could walk her through it, and she was soooo proud that her 7 yr old self healed a lot better than my 30 year old self.

Seeing something as an adventure is way more positive than many other views. It gets me excited about the unexpected. Also, Laylee and I? Yeah, we have the same belly-button.

She was so brave, as were you. And for future reference, I, too, have veins that like to roll around when an IV or needle is inserted. An inflated blood pressure cuff around your arm takes care of the problem. I won't even let anyone near my arm with a needle until they put a cuff on! Oh my! She was so brave, as were you.
