two by two

Out of eight kids,

unless you count Lana's head being cracked open with a rake,

(which I don't, because that is in a category all to itself, I think)

only the oldest

- and now the youngest -

have ever broken any bones.

Interestingly, they both broke the same bones - the distal radius and ulna.

They also both had to wait 'til the day after the breakage occurred

 for their mother to realize that they did, indeed, need medical attention.

My poor kids.

Right now, Lex' just has a splint;

we go next week for a cast.

She's a tough little cookie, our girl is.
