Our Poor Lily

I think that I got one of the worst calls that a parent fears. Let me tell you how it went on Monday! " Hello Kristin. This is .... At the school and we have Lily in here. She got hurt at recess and is crying hysterically so I think you better come get her. She fell when she was doing a cartwheel/ handstand and I think she broke her arm. I know Lily and know that she is tough and she must be hurt really bad since she is crying so hard. " So I packed up Nolan and another kid I was babysitting that day and off we went to the school. When I arrived, poor thing was in so much pain-- I could just tell. The nurse knows Lily and she is right, Lily is tough and usually never crys when she gets hurt and her poor little self was so upset. Two nurses, the office staff, her teacher, and the guidance counselor who also loves Lily were standing around her. Then the principal walked in and said "Oh no, that is the Erfurth Girl" Poor Lily was in so much pain so off we went to the Drs. Office ( We called the ER and Urgent care and they recommended us take her right in town to her Family Practice Dr. for him to x-ray her) We spend all afternoon in the office and found out that she broke her elbow. It was so swollen that they put it in a soft splint cast with a sling for a few days to reduce the swelling before she got her hard cast on.
