Sara's pain tolerance

We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Wiberg's house for a big family dinner last night. Sara got dressed in her pajamas and went back outside to play. Well. . . she was running down the stairs and missed the last three. . . She broke her wrist. I honestly didn't realize it might be broken until 10:30 last night when she came upstairs and told me how much her wrist hurt. I wrapped it, gave her some Ibuprofen, cuddled, watched "Phineas and Feb" and sent her back to bed. She came back up around 5:00 and I let her cuddle in bed with me. We took her into the doctor this morning and she was FANTASTIC. She got her x-rays done with zero complaint and zero movement or talking that wasn't requested. She was her normal friendly self, just disciplined. :-) When the x-rays weren't being set up or taken, she was entertaining the x-ray tech with stories. :-) She has what's called a "buckle fracture." She currenlty has a splint and we'll see orthopaedics sometime this week to determine if she needs a cast. She's behaving SUPER well with no complaints. She's not allowed to play for at least an hour and half or two hours from the time she got the splint (one hour down) to let it set completely. In order to avoid hyper, we didn't go to church :-( and she's calming watching Liken the Scriptures' "David and Goliath" which is one of her favorite "Jesus movies." She has rarely even complained about her wrist hurting and I wouldn't have suspected a break except that it woke her twice. I even feared that the x-ray would show nothing because she's been so good about it all. I'm glad I took her in, though. :-)

  1. So Scott just came to me and asked if he may sleep in Sara's room tonight because he want's to make sure she's "fine and wakes up with a good wrist." He's SUCH A SWEETHEART. He came to me while I was resting and said, "So, I have a sister with a broken wrist. . . I wish I had a sister with a broken nothing." Sara's paging him to come hang out with her. :-)
