We Interrupt This Navel Gazing Episode..

So we may bring you The Real Life Adventures of the Six Clan.

Baby Girl broke her arm today. She was doing the usual kid thing, jumping off something not too high when she fell awkwardly and broke her left forearm. Greenstick Radius and clean break Ulna. The DO and I gathered her up and took her to the ER in St. George, about a 20 minute drive away. She was a real Trooper. I've seen grown ass men with much lesser injuries cry like babies. When she found out she was hurt and needed to go to the hospital her first and chief concern was missing out on her ballet lesson. Mom had to assure her that she'd talk to the teacher about getting her an extra dance lesson to make up for it.

The ER doc had to put her out so he could break the greenstick and set both bones. DO was in with her and related that Baby Girl wasn't too sure about the whole anesthesia thing. I guess she said something about things getting weird when she went under and "kinda funky" as she came out.

But everything turned out as well as can be expected. Baby Girl has a brand new cast on her left arm from elbow to hand. It's hot pink of course so there's at least that. She seems to be feeling as well as we could hope and I think she'll get used to the cast soon enough. Of course it's her left arm and she's left handed so...

We  now return you to Six's Omphaloskepsis which will be seen in it's entirety except on the east coast where we will bring you a rerun of the 2008 Republican Primaries.
