Our First Broken Bone

Posted in Dyslexia

Yep.  Sarah broke her wrist last week.  It was already a rough couple of days for her; she had allergy testing on Tuesday, which showed that she is highly allergic to dust mites and a little less allergic to cats, trees, grass, ragweed, fish, and shellfish.  Then she broke out in fresh hives Wednesday morning (probably a combination of the previous day's allergy testing and getting into some dust mites that morning).  Wednesday afternoon, she was in Mom's basement playing.  Then there came that cry that all moms know--the one that you just know means it's serious.

She slipped on the floor and put her hand out to catch herself.  She has a buckle fracture of her right radius.  She got her cast on Monday; it is lime green!

The pain hasn't been too bad, so I'm very glad for that.

Anyway, here is where dyslexia is an advantage--she is having to write with her left hand, and it's not all that different than her writing with her right hand (a little less nice but still quite readable).    Most dyslexics are quite ambidextrous, and Sarah has proved that to be true in her case.  Just a little silver lining!

Chris said you were getting snow and wind. We are getting rain. Our yard is a lake right now.

Sarah looks so cute in her cast!

Wow - I guess you've made it quite a few years as a mom without any broken bones (Matt broke his arm when he was a toddler, I think...)!! Glad all is well and aren't casts so much cooler now than when we were kids?
