Well...

Gabrielle managed to break her leg yesterday while playing with a bouncy ball on the basement carpet. She has a spiral fracture on her right tibia (shin bone). She is shown here in her first cast-splint thing. She'll get another one after more xrays next Friday and then probably a third. Poor thing will be unable to walk or crawl for about six weeks. What a terrible time to be immobile---we have to carry her from room to room, etc. Please pray that this time will go fast! She is currently sitting next to me eating cheerios and talking up a storm... the nurses yesterday told us that she'll adapt fast. She already was able to still go potty and poopy on her training toilet yesterday. Otherwise, because Gabby is talking, she is pretty good at saying, "Help me!" and communicating what she needs/wants.
