Welcome Home Daddy...

So, Mark's been out of town for the last *two weeks (*home on weekends). We were all anxiously awaiting his arrival Friday night. Mommylion frantically cleaning the kitchen, Little Lion and Little Pumpkin playing in Little Lion's room. I thought Little Lion was reading to Little Pumpkin... when all the sudden I hear her crying.

I ran in the room to find Little Pumpkin laying on her right side crying and Little Lion sitting nearby saying..."I'm not sure what she tripped on." As I rolled her over, it was very apparent she had a broken arm! WOW! This was a first for me, for them...small panic begins, then reality...calmly I call my good friend Magnum 'cuz her hubs is in the know being Doc and all!

So Doc talks me through how to get her into the car. I'm sending Little Lion for different things, namely a small pillow, which was apparently hard to find. (We did find it today safely keeping a doll comfy in her stroller.) Anyway, about the time I got up to go look for it, Daddy Lion was standing in the doorway of the room. "Welcome home Daddy, we're going to the E.R!"

Little Pumpkin was so BRAVE and STRONG! I could not be more PROUD of her!!!

Not even a tear when the I.V. was put in and look she was still smiling for pics after being poked and taped and squeezed! I'm sure the morphine was starting to kick in a little. (I happened to have my camera in my purse with school starting this week... a blog for another time now!)

This is her arm! No Photoshop work here!

And after it was all said in done still the best patient EVER! I will admit seeing her sedated in a twilight stage was a little hard for Mommylion, just really odd. But SO glad she has no memory of it!

Some of the better parts of being hurt... sweet cards from some very sweet friends! Gator and Little Lamb made these cards with Little Lion today (he ended up at their house for a impromptu sleep over!). The empty spaces included sweet treats like a coloring book, lip gloss and a candy bar!

More perks ~ Lolly and Pop came over with goodies! A necklace that she will always remember getting when she broke her arm. And more sweet treats ~ my chocolate lover was in heaven today! ;o)

But the best part of having a broken arm you ask?
