I got a call one afternoon last week from the school while I was at the library with Grayson. We were almost done picking out our books when my phone rang. It was the school so I answered it. I was met on the other line with the school nurse, and as she was tripping over her words as I listened to see who needed help, I just knew it was something a little more serious than someone being sick. She finally spit it out, after jumbling her words together that Hannah had, had an accident at recess and hurt her arm. She didn't tell me it looked broken; she just said that she fell off a toy and Hannah said she heard a snap and it looks pretty serious. So I told her I'd be right there to pick her up.
I got Hannah and took her straight to the urgent care to get some x-rays done because as soon as I saw her arm in the school office I could tell it was definitely broken, but didn't say that to Hannah because I didn't want to scare her. We got her x-rays and, sure enough, she broke it in the middle of her arm. So they put a splint on it for a week and this week she got a pink cast put on all the way past her elbow. I have been super impressed with how well Hannah took it. She hasn't skipped a beat with a broken arm. She only needs help getting dressed in the mornings and everything else she has been determined to do on her own. She hasn't complained or made excuses that she can't do something because of her arm. She has been so awesome through this whole ordeal.
So what happened was she was standing a spinning toy at recess while another boy was spinning her around. Hannah could feel she was going to slip because he was going too fast for her, so she told the boy to stop, but he didn't hear her. She flung off and landed really hard on her arm, and she really did hear her own arm break.
