Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed!

[katstales]

I had a crappy weekend, but not nearly as crappy as my poor little granddaughter. She fell while riding her bike last Friday and broke the bone in her thumb virtually right at the lower joint at the base of her hand. She saw an orthopedic guy yesterday, but he didn't want to touch it due to her age and the location of the break. He's referred her to a specialist at Children's Hospital across the river in St. Louis and the appointment is today. Any good vibes and prayers for her would very much appreciated!!

Oh, and the real kicker? Poor kid had her sixth birthday on Sunday. Instead of the planned party involving lots of games (involving much running and screaming, LOL) and cake and ice cream in the park, she got to sit around indoors with a temporary cast on her hand and her arm in a sling. :(

Thanks! She's taking it all very well so far. Waaaay better than her idiot father. Now if they can just pin it tomorrow without cutting her!

And apparently, her mother does not realize how cool it is to have a cast in kindergarten (or so the little squirt informed her this afternoon on the way home, LOL!) One of the little boys has even been voluntarily staying inside during recess to color and read books with her. ::grins::
