Poor Lovey!

We were having a nice day, played and played and played in the house. After lunch we went outside to wait for Grammie and went for a little walk & then got hot so we got ready to go in the pool. The water was quite warm from all the sun we've had this week & they all jumped right in. Then Lovey decided to lay on the side of the pool and somehow slipped off and landed with her arm underneath her and immediately started crying/screaming. The arm became a bit discolouredd and she wouldn't let me come anywhere near it & howled if I touched it at all.

Luckily Mum arrived a few minutes after this happened and after half an hour, when Lovey didn't seem to be calming down any, I decided to take her into emerg. It was one of our shorter visits, less than 2 hrs. They took xrays of her arm and a niiiiiiiiiiiiiice (looking) doctor talked to her and checked her out but couldn't determine anything. Since toddler bones aren't all calcified at this age, you can't see some of them on xray. He said that just because they didn't see any break, didn't mean there wasn't one. We're to watch her til Monday & if there's no improvement, I think she gets a cast... but hopefully not!

I was in the middle of taking some pictures of them playing and got this sad one of her after it happened. Not a happy camper!

Murray's set up a YouTube account & is uploading some pool footage from last week. With all the jumping around, you might expect they'd break something but this isn't how she got hurt! She was just lying on her belly & slipped off the side onto the grass! The link for the videos is http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kelmursimpson
