Kassadi's Mishap!

It doesn't fail. Someone always gets hurt! This time it was Sass. Apparently, she and the rest of the kids on Thanksgiving evening were running around. She got pushed and fell on her arm wrong. Jad Smith was upstairs when it happened and he said that he heard a really loud pop. He knew that something was wrong. We were down stairs and heard this scream that was foreign to any of our children. We knew that something was really wrong. Steve ran upstairs and got the scoop. He freaked out a bit... got her in the car and off to the ER he drove. I stayed home and ushered everyone on their way. I waited for Steve to call and let me know what was going on. He called right away. The ER was really slow that night. She had a broken humorous and needed to have surgery. They wanted to keep her overnight so that the surgeon could fix her up in the morning. So a couple of people stayed at the house and I went up to the hospital to send Steve home to sleep. Tyler Crompton came along to assist in a blessing. I got the privilege of staying on one of those wonderful hospital cots that are oh so comfortable! Kassi did really well. The nurses gave her a stuffed horse as soon as she got there. They all thought that she was so cute.

Notice the cut shirt. They didn't bother to get it off of her. They went straight for the scissors! That was the first day that she wore the shirt. Oh well, we will just cut the other side and call it a short sleeve! :)



They didn't have any kids hospital gowns, so they went with the really large adult one!



After an awful night sleep, she was off to surgery at 7:30 in the morning. She went later than planned because in the middle of the night a little girl (the same age as Kass) fell out of her bunkbed and broke the same bone! She had surgery before Kass. The nurses told us that they expected another break sometime that day because usually everything happened in threes. Crazy!





Kassi did great in surgery. She was a little bit wheepy coming out of the anesthesia. But all in all she was a trooper. We were really proud of her! After surgery, they took her back to her room and she reminded the nurse of the popsicle that he promised her.



After another hour or so, she was sent home to recover. She was to return to the doctors office to have her pins removed in 4 weeks.



When we got home, she chose to go up to bed and sleep for a bit. After she had a nap, we brought her downstairs to be with the family. She hadn't really eaten anything and was pretty hungry. Kyle decided that he would make her a root beer float and feed it to her. It was pretty entertaining.



Kassadi's best friend Kiley Jennings stopped by to bring Sass some of her (Kiley's) favorite comfort things from home. She brought her a big stuffed My Little Pony and some of her favorite candy. It was a really sweet thing and I know that it meant a lot to her.



Kassadi also received a few cards from Nana & Papa and a fun box of gifts (slippers, fake nails and a game) from her cousins, Emmy & Claire. Thanks guys for keeping her in your prayers.
