Yes, yes, it happened AGAIN!! I can not believe that my princess broke her arm again, within a 6 month time period! I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I felt so bad for her! Katie and the boys were over and we were messing around outside. We all came in for a snack and Lyxi sat on the bar stool. Everyone ate their snack and Lyxi wasn't quite done so she got left up there for a while longer! I went to go get Tayahna and I saw out of the corner of my eye that Lyxi was standing on top of the bar stool and she feel before I could even say anything. She landed in the most awkward position, on her side trying to catch herself. I ran over and picked her up and held her for a minute when Katie in a panicked voice said, umm Kristi you need to look at her arm. I knew the second I looked at it, it was broken! It looked like a "U" shape! I rambled off a few naughty words (only because I was sooooo mad at myself and so sad for Lyxi, I normally don't do that but it was a bad situation that we had just gone through not 6 months prior)!!
So we rushed her to the Pinedale Clinic, thankfully Brad was home and he went with me, and Katie took Jaden and Tayahna! They braced it and sent us to Jackson where they had to set it! She broke her arm in three places, two in the radius bone and one on her ulnar bone (I think I got those names right???) The doctor had the OR team on call because he was worried that if he set the one brake it might off set the other break, so he was worried about getting everything back in line! That made me so nervous. Lyxi did so good up until they were putting the IV in her arm and they couldn't get it and blood was dripping everywhere! She was so brave and tough through the whole situation! I just cried with her, I couldn't help myself, I felt so bad for her! They made us leave when she was just about "under" and we went to the waiting room and not two minutes later the doctor came in and said he was confident that he got it set! So they took some x-rays and sure enough he had gotten it back in place without any problems! We went in and got to wake her up and she didn't cry once after that!
It hasn't slowed her down a bit! Except Brad brought home a turtle from North Dakota and Lyxi kept sticking her hands in the tub and getting her cast wet! So we had to go in and get a waterproof one! She only has one more week left and she is home free!
NEEDLESS to say, we do NOT have bar stools in our house anymore!
Lyxi for mamma's sake, can you take it slow and not be so crazy! I don't know if it carelessness, recklessness, or just plain craziness, but I can not handle this stress! I am already finding 10 gray hairs in my bangs and I am pretty sure they are all from you!!! It is a good thing you are so sweet and cute! You keep me on my toes, so thanks sweet heart!
On a side note....... Lyxi right this moment has road rash all over her nose and forehead because she was running too fast and tripped on the asphalt! She is going to be just like her daddy!!!! ;)
