Poor Lacey

It had to happen sooner or later.  Lacey is the first of our kids to get a broken bone.  A buckle fracture of her left radius bone to be exact.  She took a tumble out of her crib Monday night (I think she was trying to prop herself up to look at Heidi).  Tuesday she was using it ok, but Wednesday she tripped and fell on the arm again.  It started looking pretty swollen and she was nursing it quite a bit so I decided to take her to the ER (her pediatrician was on vacation, how nice).  So far she is dealing with the splint pretty well.  She's only tried to unwrap it once.  We will have to take her to get a cast next week.

Her 'special sleeve' decorated with pony stickers (I had to bust out the paci when the tec tried to put her on the exam table...it didn't go well, but she did fine in my lap after)

Sweet Pea got her very own splint too
