About a week ago Violet burned herself on the curling iron. On the inside if her wrist, on the crease. It was blistered and sad. I was especially mad because I NEVER curl or even blow dry my hair. I plugged it in and bam. Burn.
On New Year's Eve Violet was jumping on the couch and fell off (she likes to count to three and then jump lately, I have always hated it) and hurt herself bad. Worse than ever she cried hard and I could tell was a problem. I wanted to take her to the ER but waited until things were settled and because I didn't want to take her to a place filled with sickness, wait for hours (on New Years Eve, remember) and end up with nothing wrong but the flu instead So I opted for the neighbors house. They are both nurses and have been for 20+ years.
He looked at it, checked her elbow, wrist, etc. and thought that the problem was the burn. She had most likely fallen and hurt the burn.
Over the next couple days she was babying her arm, I could tell and not using it for rough things but she was pushing cars with it, doing "arms up" for helping me get her dressed, etc... I still had a close eye in it though. I was thinking that the burn was the problem and Sam was too although he felt like she was sensitive to the back of her wrist being touched, which wouldn't be the burn.
Wednesday morning she was coming out of the play room and bear crawling up the three stairs that go into the room with both legs and one arm, the other cradled to her chest. I called and asked for an X-Ray and they got me in.
She did some feeling and agreed to do the x-ray and what do you know. A broken arm! In two ******* places!
I started crying immediately. I can't believe it was broken for THREE DAYS and I didn't know. She has been needing me like crazy, I thought it was because of the move and I worked a little extra this week. She has been hurting and I thought it was a burn, which you can do little about.
Anyway, I feel like crap about it. I cried a lot. I hate that I waited instead of just doing it. Horrible horrible horrible.
In reality she seems to be okay, we have had the cast for five days now and the "real" one goes on on Tuesday... except now there is something strapped to her arm and cramping her style.
GO TO THE DR. EVEN IF YOU THINK IT'S SILLY. Although, saying that.... if I would have taken her to the Dr. and nothing would have been wrong I would have been pissed that I exposed her to the yuckies for no reason.
I'm so sorry. I probably would have done the same thing with just watching it. I'm sure she'll heal up quick and won't even remember all of this. But oh, poor baby. 
) for his broken arm!
!! I thought I would get more of that wih the broken arm but people understand that children can be wild. Youd be surprised how many other mommies made their kids wait a few days.
