Sunday evening Ray bumped his head (it popped out into a nasty bump) and Katelyn fell off the couch. Minor injuries on a normal day, but just before a vacation...
Ray's head was better the next morning, but Katelyn still wouldn't put any weight on her right arm. We hoped she had just bumped/twisted her arm reaching for the toy she went after...
So after getting a hold of her doctor (who was on Spring Break with her family) and with the morning gone, we decided to go to the Emergency Room in St. Charles to speed things along so we could still leave that night. We arrived there (after an insane amount of traffic) at 2pm in the afternoon.
She got an X-ray,
Splinted, and was transferred to Cardinal Glennon (the only place they do casts for kids her age).
Well past dinner time, she finally got a cast (looking back, even through it felt like forever it was just over 24 hours from when she fell).
That didn't mean that we could leave...because Katelyn MUST OUT-DO her brother in everything, The fact that she had a buckle fracture, was only 12 months old, and lives in St. Louis, MO they had a social worker interview us and took over 15 additional x-rays of Katelyn. We didn't leave until AFTER 9PM, so we picked up Ray and left for Florida ASAP!!!!

Good thing you passed the social worker interview! Wow! What great timing too! Ray is absolutely adorable, even with that big ol goose egg on is head! And Katelyn is a beautiful version of the Ray Ray I remember!
Holy cow! What a way to leave on vacation!
