Please keep my baby in your prayers. She is 2 -1/2 and sweet. Her sister decided to carry her from her bed to my wife and she tripped and fell on her. She has what is called a buckle fracture. Not serious but painful. She is the first of my four to need a cast. I could have killed myself and my 6-year old (not really) She is progressing well. It happened Friday. She is crawling, but hasn't dared to walk yet, the doctor said she could walk on it when she is ready.

So sorry to hear that Anthony.

She and the family will be in my prayers and thoughts. ((((HUGS))))

Is it her leg that has the buckle fracture...or ankle, foot?

Eric

That is terrible! Sending prayers out to your baby as I type. (((HUGS)))

Thanks guys. It is her leg....

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the accident. I'm sure big sister feels bad about it as well. Prayers going out for both of them.

Poor baby. Hope she's feeling better soon.
And hugs to big sis((((( ))))))
She must feel terrible about it.

Anthony, give your 6 and 2 1/2 yr-olds ((((HUGS)))) for us, Bro.

What kind of medicine is the baby on to help ease any discomfort?

Eric

Just ibuprofen. The doctor said that would be fine. She's up and crawling around already, but she doesn't want to walk on it yet.

My 6-year old is doing fine, unless my 9-year old tells her something like, "Mom and Dad said you dropped her way to hard and then stomped on her leg" Women can be so vicious sometimes

Her older sister must feel worse than the baby. She was trying to help and ended up hurting her baby sister. ((Hugs)) to both of them. My Grandson just got his cast off from a broken arm. Those little ones are so resilient!!!!

I did some reading online and it mentions that bones in children are softer and that particularly for a buckle bone fracture...not sure what your pediatrician said, Anthony...but an article I found on Google about buckle fractures...that at most...the cast would be on for 3 weeks.

Eric

Right, that's what he said. It's only been since Friday, so, we've got a little more to go.

Anthony, prayers heading your way as I type for the whole family. It is difficult to deal with these types of things even though no one meant any harm.

Awww, poor thing...hopefully the pain will subside quickly. I feel bad for big sis too, trying to be helpful and has this accident. Hugs to both of them!

Sure will say prayers Anthony. My oldest has a light threatening peanut allergy but thankfully has had only a few minor reactions. Her sister Laura, however, has spent a lot more time in the ER than the one with the allergy! 3 fractures and stitches. Used to be she'd go tearing around the house and my pat phrase would be - please stop, walk, don't run, find a good book and a comfy chair and SIT. Did she do that? Oh no! Still tearing around but she's smarter now. We've been able to avoid the ER for a long time now. I shouldn't say that for fear of jinxing us. LOL But the one thing I learned from Laura's fx's (collar bone, wrist, finger) is that kids heal fast, much faster than we do.

Hang in there.

Mary

That poor thing! Accidents do happen and I'm sure your daugther feels awful about it! I'm glad the doctor said she'll be alright.

Prayers on the way anthony!!

Owie!!! The good news about kids...especially little ones, is they rebound and heal when they are ready. You hardly have to tell the, they just know. Sorry to hear about the mishap. Hope the healing comes quickly.

Kids DO heal much quicker, but, lots of hugs will
help them heal much faster!

Thank you everyone. IT's nice to know I have a larger family than the one living in my house to help in time of need.
