Bridesmaids!

After a long two weeks of carrying that heavy cast and struggling to sleep and dress they changed her cast at the hospital for a neater one thank god! It was horrible holding her while they took the big one off. I got a close up view of the pins sticking out of her arm *shudder* she is allot more comfortable now and her worries about looking a monstrosity at her Auntie Shells wedding was put to rest. A clean over bandage and a little ribbon worked a treat!

 

Poor Emily :(

Emilys plaster cast is HUGE and so heavy and uncomfortable but it has to cover the pins and allow for swelling and she needs these pins in for 3-4 weeks :( it's going to be a long few weeks! She is in quite allot of pain and finding a comfortable sleeping position is virtually impossible. We have cancelled our holiday to Skegness because the poor mite won't be able to do anything or go on any rides :( we will get there this year though! Iv promised!!

My girl is so brave!

They came and took her down this morning after a very uncomfortable frustrating night where neither of us slept, leaving me and Nanna pacing the room waiting. Was awful taking her down to theatre, she was terrified of being put to sleep and the nurses trying to distract and trick her just made it worse :( my poor princess. I cried all the way to the smoke shelter where I met mum. The operation took a couple of hours and she had to have metal rods put through her arm!

Not again!!!!

Poor Emily!!!! We went to one of Hannahs school friends birthday parties today and Emily didn't really want to go till I talked her into it.. then I talked her into playing with Josh and Matilda.. and regretted it! Half way through the party I was helping Hannah get party food when someone called over and told me Emily was crying, when I got to her she was in a real state, holding her arm telling me it was broken! I could tell just by looking at her elbow it was more than broken but totally dislocated! Raced her to the hospital, allot of morphine and doctors poking and xrays have confirmed dislocation and fracture and it's really serious :'( she has to have an operation in the morning!!
