Look, Mom! See what I got from the emergency room?

Argh! Elena fell off a chair in the kitchen this morning. She seemed ok, but not completely. After an hour or two, it was obvious that she was favoring her arm and that it was swollen. Grr. Probably a compression fracture.

After a call to Martin to see if the van was done (of all days for an accident to happen--the day we take the van to the shop for routine maintenance!) --a second call came in while were were talking: the van was ready! Hooray for God's tender mercies! A call to the doctor led to a trip to the ER.

And, yup, we were right: compression fracture. I'm glad she's so happy about her temporary cast. It's nice to have her not hurting right now. She'll get her real cast on Friday...and we'll leave for vacation on Monday! Whew.
