Last week, I wrote about my daughter’s broken arm. Today, she’s back to school.
On Tuesday of last week, I brought my daughter to Boston’s Children’s Hospital for a consultation with a specialist. After just a quick visit, it was determined that she needed surgery to insert pins and straighten the arm. The only problem – there was no operating room available.
So we waited. And waited. Children’s Hospital was awesome – they brought by clowns, games, activities, and other things to keep her occupied. Eventually, she went into surgery, I cried my eyes out, and then greeted her in the recovery room.
After a week home, she was ready to go back today. And, she was proud as can be with her blue cast.

I have had to hand both of my children over for surgeries, and hands down it was the hardest thing I have ever done. So glad the surgery went well, and so glad kids bounce back so quickly!!
