Firsts...

Some parents chronicle 1st steps, 1st smiles, and other typical milestones.

Me, I like 1st emergency medical intervention...

On Thursday night, as I was feeding Jack, Miss Ava started monkeying around. As she climbed on the chair, I gently told her, "Ava, get down." Which she did. And then she got right back up again.

Up. And down. Up.

And.......bam! Backwards fall off the arm of the chair onto the floor. Screaming ensued.

Knowing our diva, I figured if I could calm her & get some food, all would be well. Not so this time.

So, we loaded up and headed off to our local, friendly ER. After a very brief wait, we were shown back to a room where we waited. Luckily Mommy NP (from pre-school) was working that night & checked Ava out head to toe. X-rays were ordered & completed.

Then we met Dr. Broken Bones. He decided that we needed to splint Ava's arm because she has a teensy little fracture in her humerus right by the elbow. So, her arm is wrapped from armpit to wrist for the next 2 weeks. Then, we see where we're at!



It slowed her down for a day-ish. Other than climbing, though, she's pretty much back to her usual feisty self.
