Good news, Bad news! We made it home from the ER after only spending about 3 hours there, but..............Rachel broke both bones in her left arm tonight at Flag Football practice. Scott was with her at practice and saw it all go down. He saw her wrist right after it happened and knew instantly it was broke. Her wrist was bent the wrong way and Rachel new something was wrong too. Scott called me and I came immediately. I made it in time to ride in the ambulance with her. Shortly after we arrived, the Coach and a couple of her teammates showed up at the ER and were allowed into her room to see her. That really meant a lot to Rachel to know that everyone cared so much. They stayed for awhile and really cheered her up. When they left, the doctor came in and said she needed x-rays done. Scott again went with her and that was not a pretty scene. Rachel did not like having to move her arm and wrist for the x-rays. The ER doctor told us that her arm was badly broken and when he sent the x-rays to the orthopedic surgeon he said to put a temporary cast on her arm tonight and make and appointment in the morning to see him. I just hope she doesn't need any pins in her arm. The break was BAD!!!!!! Let's just hope that Rachel can get a good night's sleep tonight. As you can see in the picture, she is barely holding it together. Poor Boo Boo! :(

You forgot to add the part where she came over to our house the afternoon after the surgery to show us the cast. She informed the boys that she couldn't jump on the tramp but she could play soccer because she didn't need her arm for soccer. LOLOLOLOL.
