Whelp, it happened, we had our first broken bone. Julie won the award by fracturing her wrist on December 15th. She was such a trouper and was mostly upset she was late for school! Since it was her right wrist, we were lucky she only had a few days of school before break. Writing was a little difficult with her bright orange cast!
Not to be outdone, right after Christmas Andy fell off the top bunk and broke his collar bone! I know! These two. Andy had a slightly harder time getting used to the sling. He had to sleep sitting up and since it wasn't protected like Julie's cast, he had to be really careful about bumping it. And about getting hugs.
But, being the amazing healthy kids that they are, they both healed wonderfully. Julie got her cast off 6 weeks after injury. Andy was able to stop wearing his sling after 5 weeks then could be back to his silly, wild self after another 2. Both were very happy to have both arms back!
