Please pray for our little Amelia. She broke her arm in a trampoline accident yesterday. It's a 100% break of the humerus right above the elbow. She was and still is in a lot of pain. I am awake at this hour because Tracy and I just gave her a round of pain medicine.
Later this morning she will undergo surgery to put pins in her arm to help it heal properly. They were unable to schedule it yesterday. They were quite busy at the hospital with similar injuries from the first day of summer break...er, summer vacation.
Even though it's a bad 100% break (x-rays coming soon), at least it's a fairly clean break. The surgeon said he doesn't anticipate any complications, permanent effects, or healing time beyond four weeks.
If you ever have your child seen by an orthopedic surgeon and staff for a trampoline accident, you will endure mild scolding from each staff member and from the surgeon himself (or herself, but in this case himself). They are anti-trampolines, which is charitable of them given the business they get from trampoline victims.
Finally, yes, when Amelia is more cheerful later today or tomorrow, we will take her picture together with Simon, who gets his arm cast off on Thursday. :-)
