Karisa's a Trooper!

Last Thursday Karisa was involved in a sledding accident at school. She cried A LOT the first couple days, wouldn't move her shoulder, complained of a lot of pain, etc. Well, being the good parents we are, we encouraged her to "be tough" and deal with it. Well, after watching this "droopy" shoulder for 4 days and having several people encourage us to get it checked out, we finally got an X-Ray yesterday. And now Mommy and Daddy are feeling VERY bad. . . Karisa has a fractured collar bone. She has been such a trooper as she has tried hard to function as best she could with the immense amount of pain she must have been in! Well, we are SO thankful that it is already starting to heal (oops - guess we shouldn't wait next time to get something checked out until it has already started to heal!) and she does not have to wear a sling. No sledding for a few weeks. . . but that's OK all things considered!!

Oh, it's so hard to know what to do in these situations! Aren't you glad God's grace covers both us and our kids? We're very "tough it out" parents, too, so I don't fault you in the least!!
