I ask you, my dear blog readers, to please remember my sweet mom in your prayers, especially over the next few days. Today, she and my dad were watching Lane and Cohen. While she was cutting Lane's hair, she somehow managed to get tripped by the cord and fell, fracturing her left humerus (the bone in the upper part of her arm).
We are thankful that it is her left arm, so that she will still be able to function somewhat, but any of you who might know my mom personally know that my creative streak was undoubtedly inherited from her. Unfortunately, it's difficult to create one-handed. 
The focus for right now is on controlling her pain. Generally, a humerus fracture doesn't require surgery or a cast. They usually heal by immobilizing the affected limb close to the body and allowing gravity to maintain alignment of the fractured bone. She is to see an orthopedist next week to make sure that no further treatment is needed.
