I Know I am Crazy...but I Have Proof that I am Not!!

So, I truly believe that you should never say, "Wow! Have you noticed how we have not been sick in a long time?" Some people do not believe that it can cause you any harm to say those words. My honey said them a few weeks ago, and then later that night Cecilia broke her arm...and then Benson and I caught a cold....then Ben had the cold....then Cecilia...and lastly Julia. Just don't say it! You don't want to know what will happen to you!

We were going to go on a date on the Saturday before Valentines day and while I was out picking up the babysitter Cecilia fell off the recliner. When I came home with the sitter she was crying, "Mom... My arm hurts!" I told her don't worry it will feel better soon. Later that night when we came home after our date the babysitter said that Cecilia had been mentioning the fact that her arm hurt really bad. I still not think anything of it. Then over the next several days I noticed that she would not use it. I took her into the doctor and well I have to say that recliners are very dangerous! She had two broken bones!
This is her first cast. When she first found out she was going to have a cast put on she said that she really wanted a pink one! So, she was very happy that they could give her a pink one. You can see that she had a lot of family members who signed it.
You will notice that she does not look to scared as the nurse is about to turn the tool on.
The second she turned it on that changed quickly and I put the camera down to go stand by her. It was pretty disturbing to her, and very loud!
Here she is afterwards! She was excited to be able to have a purple one put on next. They wanted to be able to put this "short arm" cast on so that she could use her elbow. Unfortunately, when we got home it started to slip and so we had to go in a few hours later to get cast number three!
This is her third cast. It is a long arm cast....it will be her buddy for another four weeks!

I feel like someone in our family has been sick every day since the beginning of the year.

Wow, just from falling off a recliner, huh? I guess it all depends on how you fall. Poor CC, she is such a trooper though!

I really like the purple cast. If I ever break my arm I'm totally going with the purple! Hope she feels better soon!
