Erin's Mishap

I awoke Saturday morning to the sound of lots of kids downstairs. Erin had decided to race ripsticks (skateboards) with the neighborhood kids before 8a.m. While racing, her foot slipped off and down she fell. The neighborhood kids helped her home and explained what happened. She was saying her wrist hurt. I gave her an ice-pack and two ibuprofens and sent her upstairs to rest. I dressed, headed to the gym, and then I ran to the shoe store to get Dylan's tennis shoes for HipHop class. I called the house to make sure all was well, and Dylan answered saying that Erin was crying really bad. I headed home to find Erin still crying and in pain. Her wrist was really white with very little swelling, but it just didn't look right. I took her to the urgent care clinic where they x-rayed her wrist to discover it was broken. They wrapped it up in a hard splint and referred us to an orthopedic clinic Monday. We just left the orthopedic clinic where they informed us that they will need to put Erin to sleep to move the bone back into place. Tomorrow around noon, we will have her all fixed up! She's tough, but say a little prayer anyway. She's very upset about dance, but hopefully the doctor will at least let her pick the color of her cast to match her dance costume since we have pictures this week. I'll post photos of her and her cast if she'll let me snap a few photos.
