Poor Riley...

Riley did not have a good ending to the day yesterday. Riley and one of her friends were spinning around in our office chair yesterday and Riley fell out and hurt her arm. I saw the fall but it happened so quickly I could not remember if she hit her arm on the desk as she fell or how exactly she landed on it. Anyway, it did not look like that bad of a fall so we put ice on it and off we went out to dinner and ice cream to celebrate Regan's birthday. Riley was nursing her arm all through dinner but we just kept telling her she was going to be Ok. We did not believe that it was really that hurt. But, after ice cream - seeing that even dessert did not perk her up - we figured Tony better take her to Triangle Orthopedic's Urgent Care. Sure enough she fractured her right arm. :( Boy, did I feel like a horrible mom telling her it was Ok and she needed to perk up for her sister's b-day. Riley has a temporary cast on right now b/c of the swelling and we will go back Tuesday for the permanent cast. She will have to wear it for 6-8 weeks. So, she can't do gymnastics or swim lessons for that long. :( She is really bummed that she will miss her gymnastics recital that they have been practicing for all winter long. So, we all learned a lesson yesterday. My heart goes out to her!
