Elsie
Last night Elsie, my oldest(7) fell backwards out of our playhouse in the backyard. She fractured he right forearm breaking both bones. Caleb was with her and came running into the house to tell me she fell. I looked out and saw a familiar sight, Elsie walking toward the house crying and holding her arm. I was concerned but not alarmed and waited for her on the deck. As she got closer i looked at her arm and saw it had an 's' curve in it near the wrist. That got my attention.
I walked into the house quickly called shelly and told her to get ready to go to the hospital and then went back out to Elsie. She was distressed and in pain, i didn't feel like i could hug her or touch her much cause she was in pain. We ran off to the hospital for x-rays and treatment. They put her in a splint and sent her home with instructions to see an orthopedic surgeon in the morning.
They also gave her a script for pain meds which we were glad for.
This morning we called the orthopedic doctor. The nurse that answered the phone was a bit abrupt and told me that the doctor couldn't see Elsie till tomorrow. How could they not see my daughter till tomorrow? She is in pain and hurting and now she has to wait a day? This didn't make sense to me. But I trust that things will be ok.
