Macy's Broken Arm

Monday morning we headed up to a cabin in Sundance to spend a couple of days with Ty's family. Tuesday evening, the kids were all heading to the kitchen to make Gingerbread Houses and Macy tripped over the vacuum cord that was still plugged in and fell on the wood floor. I guess everyone just thought it was another kid falling down and didn't really pay attention until she stood up and her arm was crooked. We headed down the canyon around 5:30 PM. It had snowed all day and there was 2 feet of snow on the ground. It was a pretty intense drive. Well, to make a long story short, she ended up having surgery Tuesday morning and had to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. Her Ulna broke and punctured her skin on the top of her arm and she dislocated her elbow. The surgery was a little more difficult than the surgeon had hoped, but ended up good and he expects everything to heal well. I stayed with her in the hospital all day yesterday, we got home around 8:30 PM last night. I hadn't seen Corbin for 12 hours!!! She kept throwing up at the hospital, so we were worried if she would be able to come home, but finally held her dinner down. She had to stay in the hospital for 24 hours because I guess when the bone is exposed, the risk of infection is so great they keep them on antiobiotics for 24 -48 hours. Luckily her poke hole was small enough that he wasn't too worried about infection and let us go home after 24 hours. If we had to stay 48 hours, we wouldn't be coming home until tonight, Christmas Eve! She still has to be on antiobiotics for a week. She's been amazing, no tears, no complaining the entire time. Everyone at the hospital was amazed at how brave and strong she was. Merry Christmas to us!!!!
