We all know what happened last year on Mother's Day, the twins were born. It was not expected and very eventful, just like all my pregnancies. Read more here, here, and here.:) And Mother's Day this year wasn't quite as eventful as last, but we did have a little excitement.
Lily is a wiggle worm and when changing her diaper, or getting her dressed, she wants to roll over and fights you until it is over. So of course I was fighting her to get her changed after her nap and when I went to put the diaper in the pail, which is right next to the dresser, she decided it was her chance to get away and she went for the tuck and roll and off she went! I saw the whole thing and my hand was there but no on her. I did make contact with her as she went down, but she went. It wasn't that far of a fall and there was a nice plush rug to catch her:) but I remember seeing her leg tucked up and under. I immediately picked her up, and she was crying hard. Took her a little big to relax. I finished getting her dressed and we loaded up to head to my G.Ma's for dinner.
Lily had calmed down and was a little sensitive when moved funny and wanted to be held all night. But since she was moving her toes, would kind of move her leg. We didn't think it was broken! I thought we would wait it out over night and see how she was in the morning.
Morning came and she slept on her back the whole night, didn't move. It still seemed to hurt. I talked to mom in the morning and she said she was coming down and I should call the doctor and take her in, just to make sure. And so after 8 hours at the doctors office, taking x-rays, back to doctors office, and off to the ER at Primary Children's, she was put in a soft splint and had a broken femur! It was a horrible mommy moment for me. I was a wreck and felt horrible for her. She is such a good baby and still managed to be the happiest girl considering.
Lily was put in a cast a week later, and we actually go in this Wednesday to get it off! 4 weeks only, that was great. She figured out real quick how to roll and then take off crawling and even start pulling herself up. LIke it wasn't even there. She just dragged it behind her. I am sure Lily will be crusing when the cast comes off and it will feel like a load has been taken off!
I am glad it will be over and I won't have to tell the story, over and over, everywhere I go:)
