Does this sound like an old post? It sounds like one from four years ago, you say?
That's because Wendi did it again. Left arm again. Both the radius and the ulna. Again.
This time, however, it involved riding a bicycle with no training wheels. Yes, she did AWESOME at it. About four long passes in front of our house without being held up. Then, the crash. I've got it on video. I wish I didn't. No, I will not be posting it, you sick-o.
Here is my Wendi Bird's "broken wing" picture. No, she would not let me brush her hair. I figure that having just had your bones set with just a little morphine at this age is enough trauma. I didn't need to rip her hair out, too.
She's tougher than she thinks and has adjusted to life with a cast. We're hoping that it comes off before she starts kindergarten (August 20). We have our first follow-up appointment on Friday to see how it's coming along.
Additionally, I have to say that she is the most gracious five-year-old I've ever met! She has been so sweet and kind about asking for and appreciating help with everyday tasks she is used to doing herself. She isn't bitter, but rather... very gracious (for lack of a proper synonym).
She's doing very well! Hopefully she'll not be like her Aunt Nat go for the #3.

Poor thing! I hope she continues to be nice and sweet about getting help and it comes off before school starts.
Dear Wendi--
I LOVE YOU! And so does your mom, of course. But, you are just so awesome. Don't be afraid of the bike now, you're just going to be better at it because you can be braver.
I hope you have a great day!

Two things, first of all, she is so cute. I am so sorry she broke he arm. Poor kid, but at least she is a good sport.
@nd - This doesn't make me any more eager (not that I was eager in the first place) to take off Nathan's training wheels. HE and Liz still both love the security of their training wheels, but from time to time Nathan wants to give it a try without them. I am not good with blood and such and so I am hesitant. If you and Wendi can handle it though, we will too . . . eventually.
how come your kids are so dang cute! yikes! heaven help you in 10 years! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
i mean.. oh! poor thing! i hope she's okay....
