Join the club, Jane

After falling off of her scooter while riding home from piano last Wednesday, Jane was in a lot of pain, but seemed to recover quickly. We didn't think it was broken because a) she slept great b) she hasn't needed painkillers since Thursday c) she played in get soccer game yesterday.

Well, we were wrong!


We noticed a weird bump yesterday, called a doctor friend, and visited urgent care this morning. They are calling it a "green stick" fracture...meaning her bones are soft (like a new branch on a tree) and it mostly bent, with some minor fracturing on the edges. It's hard-splinted now and we'll take her in tomorrow for a real cast.

Our main worry? Jane turns 8 in 8 days. How does one get baptized by immersion when one has a cast on??

The only "non-broken" members of our family are Faith and Ryan now. While it's a tough, cool club to join, we are hoping to keep it pretty exclusive!
