The night before Tuesday's move our little
BRIGHT EYES
took a tumble down the steps.
In all the confusion of the move one of the boys
left the door to the stairs open and
the next thing my daughter heard was a
THUNK!
Mimi took her to the ER and they did an
Xray of her leg, hip & foot
and didn't see anything.
However, yesterday, she would not
put any weight on her foot so
back to an ER in their new hometown.
It appears she MAY have a fractured femur.
She has to see an orthopedist today
and MAY have to have a cast
for six to eight weeks.
Say a little prayer for her and her Mama.
It is always tough enough to move to a new place,
find a new doctor and try to navigate the
waters of being in a strange place.
Thanks so much.
Wish I could give her a big Nana hug but I am
reduced to Facetime...where she
HUGS the screen.
Hope YOUR day is a good one!

Oh dear. That is NOT the way to begin life in a new place, is it? Poor little gal. She will undoubtedly bounce back with no repercussions. Concerning your Wednesday post, my son also called them "stunks"! (It was my daughter who spoke about "squirrelmonks"). -Jenn
Oh, no! Poor little baby ... and the rest of you, too.
Oh, Diana. I am SO very sorry about all of this. You and your hubby must be fraught over it, being so far away now. Your poor baby girl Mommy, too, who is wishing she could turn back the clock and change the past... Fortunately ONLY a possible broken bone is as bad as it will hopefully get. Prayers for your beautiful granddaughter. Bless her heart!
Hugs to you,
Kelley~
Oh my goodness, those toddlers are so quick! Prayers for fast and complete healing.
Ouch, poor girl! She's in my prayers!
You've got that prayer!
Those home accidents are always "in small corners" or in your grandbaby's case the stairs. Having lived in the land of small (but steep!) stairs, I am the only one who ever made a fall. Sorry that she will have a cast, but broken bones do heal. Sweet that she hugs the computer screen. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
Bless her little heart, and your's too! I'm so sorry she's in pain, and upset the first ER visit didn't find this fracture! Prayers to you and the family.
Hi Diana, glad to see you back. I just got back myself from vacation. I hope bright eyes heals and it's not serious. I downloaded your book you wrote and read it. I really enjoyed reading it and you did a great job. Have a nice day Diana and a good weekend.
give her a facetime hug for me. Yes, moving and accidents do happen but they are never fun.
Oh no!!! Poor little Bright Eyes! Please know that she is in my prayers, dear friend, as is her mother. It's never easy to see our precious little ones in pain. Hugs to you!
Well, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully, if she has to have one, she'll get a bright pink cast she can decorate with unicorn and rainbow stickers :)
oh my gosh! what a thing to happen during a move. as if it's not hard enough!
amazed that they didn't find it with the first xrays. but so glad the new one did.
babies are amazingly resilient. those little bones will heal in no time! XOXO♥
Hello Dear, Yes, I will pray for Little Brite Eyes... Also for all of them, as we know moving is so stressful and with a wee one with a cast oh my..
Keep us informed!!
Hugs, Roxy.
So sorry to read this but will for sure pray for them on this. I feel for your daughter as its enough to JUST move and reorganize a home! Blessings ~ Lisa
I am so sorry and I am praying for each of you and for the Dr. xo
Oh, no! And with my boys there were times when breaks did not show up on the first x-ray. With Andrew, he broke the growth plate in his shoulder and they missed it the first go around. But - after a few weeks of him complaining I took him back and they caught it. Hopefully, your Little Miss Bright Eyes will be just fine. Prayers are going up for her now.
Poor baby! When it rains it pours, eh? I will pray for your little angel AND her mama AND you! This must be very hard for you, my friend.
Oh my. Praying for your sweet baby right now!! I can only imagine how hard it is to be so far away from them. Prayers my friend!! (Oh, and by the way, I finished reading your book!! I LOVED IT!!!)
I am so sorry to hear this Diana.....prayers for your precious family....hugs...
Oh how sad and scary!! I hate when little ones are hurt and can't really tell us....
Prayers for them.
Nancy
Oh no! Praying for her!
Oh no Diana. Poor little bright eyes. Wow you are really being tested lately with all the stuff going on. Praying that Bright Eyes will start to heal and feel better soon. Hugs.
Kris
Will be praying for her and her mother! I'm so sorry this happened. That makes a move even harder.
Swift healing to her!
Diana,
I feel so sorry for Bright Eyes fall, she and Mom are in my prayers and thinking about you all.
xoxo
Awe I am so sorry - I sure will send up a prayer.
I'll say a prayer for her and her Mama. Poor little dear!
Sending up prayers! Praying she is able to connect with wonderful new doctors!!
Oh my. Lots of prayers for everyone. Poor sweet little angel!
oh no. sure hope she heals soon. prayers for her and mama. I remember when my little guy fell down our stairs when he was 18 months...i remember it too well. thankfully no injuries
Poor baby! My husband accidentally stepped on my daughters leg when she was 2. We were outside playing vollyball and he backed up and didn't see her. She had a fracture and wore a cast for 8 weeks. It was from her ankle to hip but it didn't slow her down a bit. She could run with the cast on. Kids are amazing. My husband felt terrible and my now 13 year old daughter occasionally reminds him of it.
I'm glad your baby wasn't seriously hurt tumbling down the stairs. Keeping her in prayer.
Oh Diana, I feel so bad for Sweet Bright Eyes, and her mama! I will say a prayer for sure. Hope she's doing better. When it rains, it pours, right?
oh that's so sad, hugging the screen. I think I see a move in your future.
So sorry!! Add that on to all of the confusion of a move and I bet her Mom and Dad are about at their wit's end. Praying for precious baby.
Judy
OH CRAP.
I am so sorry, Diana. Poor sweet princess - what horrible timing and this is just awful news.
Bet brother feels just as bad, leaving the door open. Sending prayers and hugs and love.
Keep us informed. ♥
I am so very sorry to hear this news, Diana! Not a lot of fun for Miss Bright Eyes, nor is is much fun for everyone else, either! Sending my thoughts and prayers to all! xo Nellie
Praying for that sweet baby. That was always one of my greatest fears when the kids were here. Poor baby.Poor Mom and Dad, too. Prayers for all for His strength, mercy, peace, healing.
Prayer said for your little darling. Not fun for anyone.
Ohhhhh how sad..........
Oh the poor little girl. And poor everyone else... Moving is hard enough, and this on top of it. -sigh-
Hugs all around, and to you too, 'Nana'....
Oh no! Poor baby! Keep us posted please!
Oh I hate this! Poor little sweetie. I'll pray for her.
I'm praying that all is well and that if it is a break, that she will heal up fast Diana. Isn't it so hard be far away? I wish all my kids where nearby, but I guess they are the 'boss of me' now :))))
sending hugs...
Oh, no! Poor Little Bright Eyes! I will be praying for that little darling! It'll probably be harder on her mommy and Mimi as will will on her.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
oh no! I will certainly keep her in my prayers, this is shattering news, I feel so bad for you all,,
Diana, I am so sorry to hear this. Sending prayers for a quick recovery.
Hugs,
Sherry
Prayers said for Miss Bright Eyes, Mom and the big brother who left the door open. I bet he feels terrible even though he didn't do it on purpose. All the excitement of a new home and then this has to happen!
Precious little one.
I pray for her complete recovery.....
Prayers for all of the the family. Extra hugs for you.... It's hard to see our precious ones in pain.
Big hugs,
Jackie
Oh my when it rains it pours.....prayers for you and family and bright eyes.
Louise
Oh Diana, I feel so bad for little Bright Eyes. Sweet little one will be in my prayers and her mother too.
Hugs, cm
Oh, poor sweet baby! And poor you too...I know you would love to be there to give her some sugar. Hopefully she won't need a cast. Sending prayers her way. Keep us posted. xoxo
Praying for sweetie-pie...poor thing!!!
Blessings,
Cindy
Oh dear! I will indeed say a prayer for your precious little bright eyes. What a beautiful little girl. It is always so hard to have a little one get hurt, Praying for pain relief and a speedy recovery!
Oh no! Prayers for her and mama! Now look, I think it's time for a road trip. Pack up the car and go on.
Hoping for the best...new home and new medical care all in one week..my prayers to them.
Oh no poor little bright eyes!! I hope it's nothing serious...hopefully it's just a strain!
I'm so sorry to hear your little darling bright eyes has broken her leg, Diana. I will keep her in my prayers. ♥
The old saying, when it rains it pours. Definitely moving is not an easy thing, but have this to happen is horrible. Trust the report is not as bad they think. Being so young, she will heal quickly and deal with it easier than us old folks. Be strong for her and family.
Oh poor little darling. Just what they don't need to worry about now. I hope she's better quickly. Poor grandma too can't be there to hug and help :-(
Hi there, Poor baby!!! Thankful on little ones, their bones heal quickly and easily. I know it must be so hard not being there.
Sending hugs your way.
xxxoooNoreen
Oh, no. Poor baby. I hope they get some answers.
Good heavens, Diana - that poor little thing (and her parents)! Thankfully it is something can be fixed, but I am sure this has been so stressful on all, especially being new in town. Prayers for fast healing! Jane
Oh! I hate that. Poor little miss bright eyes!
I'm sorry to hear that- and I'm mad as heck it took two trips to the ER to find there actsully was a problem! When are these hospitals going to wise up?! This is the 4th case THIS WEEK. I kid you not, where the hospital failed to diagnose , treat and in the end released. ( one case the man died 39 yrs old) it is ridiculous!
... I'm sorry your not there to give hugs! š¢
Oh, no! Sure hope it's not broken. I think you could use a hug, too, Diana! xoxo
Oh no! I sure hope nothing is broken! Nothing worse than your little one hurting. Prayers being said for them right now! Let us know how she is, ok?
Big hugs!
Oh no! Poor baby. Poor mom! Sheila
Oh Dana, I am so sorry to hear about Bright Eyes accident. I pray that everything will be okay. When they are young they heal quickly. Prayers will sent her way for a speedy recovery and to give Mimi strength for this new move and recovery of BE.
Hugs,
Mary
What's with the "may have"!can't anyone in that town read an x-ray?My heart goes out to both of them. U2!
Oh my...prayers to out for your sweet Bright Eyes for a quick recovery...how awful that she had to endure this ordeal with the first misdiagnosis!...
Diana, Prayers and hugs to Miss Bright Eyes and mama, You post brought back memories of my oldest tumbling down our basement steps. We were lucky that he didn't go off the side of them. Needless to say we enclosed them right away. I pray that she doesn't have to wear a cast for 6 tp 8 weeks. I know how it hurts when they are where grandma's live away from them. We all want to be there to help them. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
Oh no. I am so sorry that this happened to that sweet baby. These things do seem to happen during moves. Give her lots of Facetime hugs. xo Laura
Poor Bright Eyes and family...she will be just fine, either way :)
warmly,
deb
I'm sorry Diana to hear of her fall and how frusterating for you to be so far away. I will pray for all of you
Prayers for this cutie and her mama too. Scary times when little ones are hurt. I will pray and appreciate your kind heart Diana. Take care Hugs, Anne
Oh I just hate to hear this news! I bet there were some big tears and cries after that happened. I hope she's not in pain and will have a speedy recovery. I know that children's bones heal quicker than ours. My youngest broke his leg when he was 2 on our trampoline. He wore a cast but healed up quickly and never had another problem. His was a VERY bad break too! She is young and probably won't ever remember this accident too.
Once I fractured my foot in 5 places but a normal xray did not show it. I had to have a special nuclear xray done to have it show! I had walked on it a month in such pain!
Oh, and I hope adorable bright eyes will be okay!
I hope and pray she is okay...will be praying for her Diana! Let us know!
Rondell♥
Oh no! Poor baby. Praying all is okay.
Oh Diana I am so sorry to hear that! We've moved three times and I know how crazy it can be doing it with small children. She looks like an angel. I feel for her mom. truly I do. I've added her to my prayer list!
xoKathleen
Oh how upsetting. Maybe she will not have to wear the cast; she is a darling I can see.
A big hug to you all. How very stressful on top of stress! Long distance is tough. Hope tomorrow is bright.
Oh, Diana, the move was probably exciting for her and then this had to happen. I hope she will be feeling better soon, but it will be hard for a little thing like that to have a cast on. I will certainly pray for her and hope her mama is doing OK too..Judy
So sorry to hear this. Saying prayers for her, her mama, and for you.
hugs,
Cindy
I hope she gets better
Oh my goodness, I know how your heart is hurting with her, and wanting to be there to help! Will certainly be praying, and hoping for the best! And sending an extra prayer for the family that has moved, to have to find new doctors, and try to settle in as well. So tough! Will certainly be praying!
I have kept her in my prayers, and I was hoping that she wouldn't have any breaks, but it's good that they found it. Your sweet daughter, I am sure is miserable about it. My youngest son had the same thing happen to his leg, after a few days of him limping and then not walking on it I took him in for a ex-ray and sure enough he had broken it. I felt like a terrible mother. He was 2. He healed just fine and was back to jumping and falling down the stairs again. Tell her to just take one moment at a time while she is going through such a crazy time in her life. Bless her heart. Take care sweetie and have a beautiful weekend. Hugs, Jo
Oh my, poor sweet girl :( Praying for her here. I think that they hospital should have done full body xrays. When my son got hit by a car and flew through air they just did trunk and head and neck. He ended up with two broken wrist and a busted toe we found a week later. His toe stopped growing then. He was 6 then.
When he was 2 he fell down some stairs and had to get stitches just above his right eye. Gosh that was so scary to go through.
Let us know how she is doing, okay?
Take care, Janet W.....PS I bought your book online. Loved it :)
Oh, poor little Bright Eyes! Sending prayers her way! Your poor daughter must be beside herself! Sending prayers for her, too, and hoping the rest of the move goes smoothly for her. So stressful. Thank goodness she got a second opinion. Mother's always know when something isn't right. xo Karen
Oh poor baby, mama and nana!!! I know that you just want to be there....
Oh poor baby, mama and nana!!! I know that you just want to be there....
oh no! poor little thing! I hope she doesnt need a cast. keep us posted! I'll send up some prayers,
xoxo

Oh Diana, I'm so sorry to hear about BrightEyes taking a fall, poor sweet baby. I will say a prayer for her and her family. It can be quite overwhelming moving to a different area and everything that goes with it.
I do hope she gets better soon.
love, ~Sheri
Diana, just want you to know..even though I didn't leave a comment... My prayers went up for this sweet little one.
Blessings,
Gert
