On Thursday night Angeline was climbing from one arm of the couch to the other arm of the other couch and she fell off. Normally when she hurts herself she might complain for 5 seconds and then she is back to doing whatever it was that hurt her to begin with. Thursday was a different story. After she fell she started screaming and grabbed her arm and would not let go. I was upstairs nursing Samara.. about 6:30 pm and Jonathan yelled for me to come and look at Angeline's arm... he thought it might be broken. You couldn't see anything but we could tell that it was hurting more then a typical bump on the arm... Jonathan wrapped it and I held my hand under it but if it moved at all she was back to screaming in pain. She would not move her fingers. We decided to take her to Children's Hospital... (thanks Carolyne for the advice and Grammy for babysitting the other 2) got there at 7:50pm and waited until about 11:30pm for a room... waited probably 45 more minutes before we saw the doctor... then went for xrays and got the cast right after that... leaving the hospital around 1:30am. After stopping at McDonalds we went to pick up the other 2 and got home around 3pm.
After less then 3 hours sleep (and a whole previous week of going to bed late) yesterday was a little challenging. David is wanting more attention... Angeline is still wanting to do things all by herself even with only one functioning arm and Samara is continuing to teeth (turned 7 months old yesterday). All in we are all doing well.
We were supposed to hear more about what type of break after a specialist saw the xrays yesterday but have not received a phone call yet (maybe Monday). The xrays showed damage at her elbow and above her wrist). She will be sporting her lovely pink cast for 4-6 weeks.
Sorry if these pictures come up small... I took them off of facebook. More pictures to follow.

Poor thing. Poor family! Hope you have good dosages of supernatural strength from the Big Guy, parents :)
Ouch! Sorry to hear all this, I am glad though to hear that her independence is still there as difficult as that will be. I am hoping that means that it isn't bothering her pain wise. Give her a kiss for me.
