Up for mother of the year.... NOT : )

Let's just say my good mother status has been slipping. The first week of school I forgot the kids get out early every Friday. Thanks to Kenny for saving me, he actually remembered and was able to get to them and save the day. My latest was having a child have a broken wrist for 5 days and not even know about it.

Here's the story: My kids love ridding their wave boards. We live in the middle of a hill, so they walk them up to the top and ride down the hill. Kelsey actually fell trying to ride the board up the hill. She cam in a said she fell and hurt her wrist and her knee. We cleaned it all up and put ice on her wrist. I asked her "do you think you broke anything?" She said no I just hurt it. The next morning she got up and got ready for school and she said it was sore. I though the test would be piano practice that afternoon. Piano came and went and she did fine and did not even complain even once. Then Friday came basketball practice and she said she could not shoot with her right arm because it hurt and I said ok we need to see a doctor. I called them but because we were new patients there was nothing till Monday. We got to the doctor, she looked at it and then felt it and sent us for x-rays. After the x-rays were seen it was then determined it was a buckle fracture in her distal radius. They gave her the option of a cast or a hard brace. She chose the brace. Today we went to a pediatric orthopedic doctor and he confirmed it was broken and indeed to close to a clean break across her wrist. He told us another fall or bump would finish it off, that she needed no P.E. , sports and boarding of any kind for the next 4 weeks. So, here I am feeling awful about my parenting lately. Man oh man..

On a another note I can't wait for my parents to get here.. It will be a welcomed change of pace.

Thanks Elisa for the great Beach Bag...
