And On and On and On and On . . .

I'm just curious what's next in life. There seems to be some checklist of things to send the Ormes way this winter. RSV. Check. Pregnancy. Check. Severe Allergies. Check. Bronchitis. Check. Asthma. Check. Well I could go on with all the stuff that we've dealt with this winter, but that will take more time. It never fails . . . when we finally seem to have some calm, something else happens.

Well, the next something else to happen is that Shelby has pulled a first . . . the first Orme child to break a bone. Yep that's right. It's funny because with how our lives have been this winter it was easy to just go with the flow. Take her to the ER. Okay it's broken, so now we need to set up an appointment with a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. It's just another load dumped on our plate that we have to deal with, but we're so used to "dealing with" stuff that it feels like normal.

Anyway, she was in PE and they were jump roping. She fell down and caught herself with her right arm. She ended up with a buckle fracture on her radius. It looks like a bump on the bone. Fortunately she isn't one to carry on, so it was pretty easy to make the decision to go to the ER.

This morning she was asking why she had to break her arm. It was a good moment to teach her that we just have to deal with what comes our way, and it doesn't do much good complaining or wishing it had never happened. Just keep a good attitude and do what you need to get through the situation. Hmmmm . . . sounds like my life lately.

So here she is in her temporary cast from the ER (Taylor and Payden of course wanted their pictures taken as well). We'll get more pictures once we visit the next doctor. I'll be sure to post the next something else to happen in our family as well, so until then . . .
