Reindeer Games? I don't think so!

So yesterday morning I slept in bc I have been in deep need of mommy time to catch up on lost sleep and I've been sick and needed to try and shake it.  Too put it plainly I was in bed sick when I got a phone call that all parents don't want to get.  It was Aunt T, she said I needed to come check Emma out that her and Emerson had been playing "reindeer games" and Emerson jumped into Emma's arms and that now  Emma won't use her left arm.  So I rolled out of bed thinking well I will just go get her and watch her at the house for a while and take her in to Dr. Moore in the afternoon.  Wrongo!  At first sight the little Diva looked to be in terrible distress.  Emma isn't one to cry or whine when she feels bad, she just keeps it to herself but mommy could tell in her eyes she hurt.  So our quick trip right back home turned into a four hour ordeal at the emergency room.

Even in pain the little diva managed to take care of her lips!

Dad soon came to her rescue.  He has always been there for her and she was asking for her Daddy!  She maynot be a Daddy's girl right now but she knows how much he loves her and she needs him.

We waited and waited in the little room for 4 hours.  We would have taken her to Dr. Moore but it was right in the middle of lunch.  By the time we got done though we could have seen Dr. Moore and been out.  Anyways....Ends up she kept saying her elbow hurt and complained everytime the Dr. turned it.  They did x-rays and determined that there could be a possible fracture in her growth plate so she has to wear a splint for a week until she see's a doctor at Children's who will determine if she needs a permanent cast.  It took a team of 4 nurses, her dad, and I to splint her arm.  She was in a lot of pain.  After we got her doctored up she wanted to go eat at Chilli's so that's what we did.

The past few days Emma has been stuck at home with Mommy.  We have had a lot of fun together and have had lots of time to bond.  The poor thing hasn't been able to enjoy her favorite past time, playing dress up.  So we have resorted to other fun stuff like coloring, painting our nails, and cooking.  And of course Miss Emma Belle couldn't walk around with an ugly brown ace bandage showing all the time, so we covered it with her favorite leg warmers.  Easier on the eyes plus keeps her from picking at the bandage and we can wash the leg warmers.  Yeah for creativity.

Poor Emma with the "reindeer" aka Bubby,  that knocked her down.

     There's a half of a smile.  All we can get right now.  But she is loving her time with Prada.

So until next week.  We are going to be spending a lot of time together playing and doing Mother/Daughter stuff.  We have a fall festival this weekend and I'm hoping she can fit her big arm threw her costume.  I know it's been a little long but I had a lot to get it.  Thanks for reading!
