Update ~ My Little Bird Got Hurt

Update: (Friday night)

We are 12 hours from wedding bells and I am off to bed!  Teddi rested most of the morning, and was able to make it through the rehearsal luncheon and the rehearsal.  She still needs Tylen*l with codeine, but is eating well and smiling lots.  Thank you all so much for your prayers, I know that they have made a huge difference for all of us, especially Teddi.  

My beautiful Taylor girl is getting ready to fly . . . I'll post again as soon as I can!

Blessings from my wedding bells are ringin' nest ~

Love and thanks,

Tina

This is going to be quick, as it is late and I am exhausted, and we are 36 hours from wedding bells . . .

Teddi fell on the trampoline on Wednesday evening.  Yes, I did say she fell "on" . . . we have a safety net, and she was jumping alone as cousins watched.  She landed wrong and broke her arm at the elbow.  I wasn't home, and got a frantic phone call from daddy.  We were soon at the nearest ER, where they determined that is was indeed broken, gave her morphine and splinted it, and then we had to transfer her to another hospital (the same one she had her palate surgery at) so that they could operate.  She had surgery at 11:00 pm Wednesday night to put two pins in her elbow.  It only took about thirty minutes, and they did not have to go "in" the pins were inserted from the outside.  She's in a splint until next Thursday, when they will cast her for about three more weeks.  We spent the night at the hospital and were discharged at 9:30 Thursday morning.  We arrived home just in time to greet the continous flow of family arriving for the wedding . . .

Her right arm was wrapped to protect the I.V. 

and her left elbow is in the splint, and sling --

which we have fondly named the "arm purse".

A looooong nap after arriving home.

Forever Family Day!

Teddi's big break happened a mere four hours after our 12 month post-placement visit with our social worker.  Our visit happened to fall due right in the middle of wedding week since I neglected to schedule it sooner.  Oh my busy nest . . .

Please pray for a speedy healing of my little bird's broken wing.  Pray too, that she can manage a modified version of the wedding rehearsal (and luncheon) tomorrow, as well as fulfill her flower girl responsibilities at noon on Saturday.  Pray  for her mama bird's strength.

Thank you dear family and friends, in advance, for your prayers.  My first born bird will arrive tomorrow, just in time for rehearsal.  And my Taylor bird is nearly ready to spread her wings and fly . . .

Blessings from my emotional nest ~
