Sunday night, I leave for my Primary Presidency Meeting at Torrie's house. All is well on the home front. Then, I return from my meeting. My husband informs me that Averi was waiting for me in the bedroom, and she was kind of hurt. I asked what happened, and was told that she collided with her brothers on the trampoline. I took one look at her, and immediately knew her arm was broken. Maybe it was just a mothers instinct, since there was no real swelling or bruising. Well, Steve got to take her to the emergency room, since I didn't feel like it would be a good idea to take Wyatt with me there (and be around sick people at such a young age.) Then comes the phone call from Steve......Yes, they just got the x-rays back, and she did break her arm. I was so upset. I felt helpless sitting at home not being able to do anything. I finally went in and asked the boys how it happened. Ethan informed me that he bounced Gavin too high in the air, and when Gavin landed, it was on top of Averi's arm! The boys felt terrible. Anyways, I laid awake until Steve and Averi got home from the hospital, expecting Averi to be really upset and in a lot of pain. However, she walks through the front door, happy as can be, smiling, and even laughing! I was having a hard time figuring that one out, until Steve informed me the doctor gave her a shot of morphine for the pain. I have never seen anyone so happy and relaxed after breaking their arm! My little pumpkin pot pie was high as a kite. She giggled her way to bed. Anyways, here is a picture of my little girl on morphine!

oh poor little averi. Thats really crappy that she broke her arm. I can't even imagine how it probably hurt. thats awesome she's being a good sport though.
Oh Jen,
such fun times, Averi is just too cute with her little pink cast on. and thanks again to you & Steve for setting up that enormous crazy pinewood derby track. Your awesome to still do that after all that you'd been through. how did your party go last night?... sorry I couldn't make it, but we did get the boys room painted!! yeah!
Averi was quite the little entertainer at your party on Thursday. Thanks for a fun evenin'!
Poor baby girl! That is funny that she was so goofy on drugs though! I'm sure that made you feel better at least knowing she wasn't hurting anymore. She seems to not be too bothered by the cast so that's good.
