Yesterday I was cleaning and cooking preparing for Will's 4th Birthday party and Hannah wanted to help me make lunch. I put her on the counter sitting down and stepped over to get a plate out of the cub bard. In that split second Hannah stood up to get the bread out of the cub bard behind her and fell. I watched her fall and couldn't get there in time. She laid there not shedding one tear. I new instantly that her arm was broke. I will never forget that image. As I screamed, Darren ran over and I told him her arm was broken. He took one look and must have agreed. Jack and Will got in the car as I held Hannah in the front seat on the way to the hospital. I feel terrible and will never forget her face looking up at me on that ride. Her arm is broken above the elbow and she is very uncomfortable. The cast must weigh 6-8 pounds so she has not walked at all yet. It hurts to have it dangle and she is not keen on the sling. She just wants to lay in bed. Things will get better as the days pass but right now I feel terrible for her! We got home about 5:00 and went ahead with Will's party at 6:00 since he had waited all week for it. I just couldn't cancel it on him. To him, all that mattered was his party so we had a good time and Hannah slept through most of it. The 2nd picture is late in the evening after Will's party. They had to cut her shirt off so she is wearing the hospital gown still. The 1st is this morning after her "sponge bath".
