What a Day!

This has been a day from you know where! Joshua had a football scrimmage last night and Emma, Caleb and I went to watch some of it before it ended. There was a zigzagy wooden thing by where we were sitting. Imagine a 2 ft high balance beam. Emma was walking around on that when she fell off right onto her arm. She couldn't move it and it hurt her really bad. After getting her home we iced her arm really good. We luckily got into the doctor first thing this morning. So after the doctors exam and x-rays...we have a fractured humorus. After visiting with the orthopedic surgeon we find out that the bones have shifted and Emma needs to have surgery tonight to get one internal pin and two external pins to keep everything in place to heal. So we go in at six and have the surgery at eight. Emma has to spend the night in the hospital as well. My worst case going into all of this was that her arm was indeed broken and she just needed it casted. NOT surgery! Keep us in your prayers.
