Sept. 11th. A day we will never forget. Now, the Maples family has another reason not to forget it....it's the day our daughter broke her first (and hopefully her last) bone. She was playing on a jungle gym, and fell about 5 feet off a ledge and landed on her wrist. She has buckle fractures in both her radius & ulna, which meant that she got a full arm cast. She is handling it really well. She has to wear it for 4 weeks, and can't get it wet, which is proving to be a real challenge in the bathtub.

oh my! But what a pretty cast! Sean broke his arm once - fell down a mountain when he was in 5th grade. I was in another part of the area and didn't see him fall - was glad I didn't see how far he fell! It'll always a good conversation piece for her, though!
Happy b-day - a few days early, Shannon!
Poor girl! Nate broke his arm when he was three. We used umbrella bags to keep it dry. We borrowed them on our way out of the hospital.
Maddie, you are very brave! We heard about your trip to the ER, but have just now gotten a chance to see your pretty cast! You really look good in pink.
Hope it's not too itchy. Hang in there, it will be off before you know it!
Love,
Aunt Patty
