I'm NOT answering the phone any more tonight!The girl managed to put a hairline fracture in the heel of her foot.
How, you ask?
Try by stepping on the ornamental ironworks of a coffee table.
Yes, indeed.
I will stake no claim for the klutz factor in that child's life. NOT my genetics!
And that sister that I just got done visiting in California?
She's in ICU following a rapid growing infection that spiked her temp and bottomed out her blood pressure.
*sigh*
Doesn't help that she was diagnosed with diabetes six months ago.
It's all good though. Really.
The sis has an awesome set of physicians working with her and her hubby is a peach and a half.
And the girl?
She was smart enough to get OFF the crutches and opted for a wheelchair for the next three weeks while she stays off the foot. Oh THANK you for making her smart enough for that decision.
"I'm not dumb, mom. I couldn't walk on TWO GOOD FEET and get it right. One foot and two little toothpicks under my armpits to hold me upright seemed like a really baddddd plan."

Just saying hi and welcome back!
Sounds like vacation was relaxing, and it's back to the regular, go, go, go for you!!
Congrats on the new digs... and even better, on the new toys!!!
one foot and two toothpicks.....yeah, I'll have to remember that one the next time my personal klutz factor comes into play.
Praying for your sis as well.

p.S. Glad you're back, and even gladder that you had such a restful time.
P.P.S. I've given you an award (since I know how comfortable you are with accepting compliments). ;)

The girl's got a point -- love the parting quote!
um...I hate to bring this up...but don't these kinda things happen in threes?
just kidding...
Oh geeze, praying for both of them to get better ASAP! *hugshugs*
sensible girl! will go far with that logic.
and gets to play in a wheelchair.... guess she'll have to look out though, cause once you find out how much fun they are... well you and toys!

Best wishes to your sister Mel, keep us informed, okay?

Threes, katherine? Uh oh....LOL Ah well, makes it easier to keep track of what I'm prayin' about, right? ;-)
And thanks for the good thoughts for the girl and the sis.
No worries, I won't shove the girl from the chair to go for a ride in the wheelchair.
I'll wait til she needs to use the bathroom and THEN snag it. LOL
