NO INSURANCE

So what do your kids do when you have no medical insurance? Break bones of course! Miss Lacey decided to do a flip on the "high bar" at school and fell off fracturing her right wrist in THREE places!!!! She was using it ok on Wednesday when it happened so we waited until Thursday to take her to the doctor. She was having trouble zipping her coat and pressing the drinking fountain button with her thumb so we decided to get it checked out for piece of mind. They are very small fractures so the doctor decided to just put on a splint for now and re-evaluate her on Tuesday to see if he thinks she needs a cast. It of course had to be her right hand so she is having trouble writing, eating, and pretty much everything else since the doctor said it can only come off for showers! Emma of course needed to be in the picture because cameras can rarely be present without her around!

So an update of injuries since we have not had insurance, which has been less than two months. Alyson has chipped her front teeth (no medical or dental attention necessary thank goodness), given herself a black eye on the stairs, and scratched her face up due to a falling on a screw (a little too close to her eye for me). None of Aly's required any medical attention thank goodness but were close! Emma shockingly has done nothing! And Lacey has the fracture which still has cost less than medical insurance for the month would have. My children have been without medical insurance for a total of three months in their entire lives. Last time (when we made the move to Pocatello) Emma dislocated her elbow and broke her toe!!! My kids generally only go to the doctor for well child visits and shots and maybe an ear infection or two in their lives. When we have no insurance they decide to break things!!!! It's like they can sense it.
