Leah broke her arm

On Friday, Leah was playing on her new bed, the top bunk. Claire moved in with her and Rachel now resides at Claire’s old room. Anyways, Leah was coming down from the top bunk thinking the ladder would be there. It wasn’t and Leah crashed onto the floor below. Jana heard a big boom and then a scream. Leah used her arm to break the fall. Sure enough, her right arm looked bad and decided to rush her to Butterworth ER. On the way, Jana called me at work and asked me to meet them there.

Leah broke her arm into 2 places, near the wrist on her right arm. One is a complete break and the other bone was a hairline fracture. Right now she is in splint and will have a cast on within the next 7-10 days. She cannot go swimming. We will make sure she gets a waterproof cast next week so she can enjoy summer.

Right now Leah is at home resting. She was a brave girl at the hospital.

This is what Leah looked like when I first come into the ER.

Time to go home!

Leah's team won!

Whew! The last game of the season, her team finally won a game! Usually they play good in the 1st half and blow it in the 2nd half. Today they played well all game along. It was a hot day for soccer...soon we will be heading over to Mara's for a swim.

We forgot the camera so I used the BlackBerry to snap some pictures...it turned out pretty good!

Also, school is out for the summer!
