Janice,
(and everyone else who has responded privately and on the group)
Thanks so much for taking the time to care, and support me as well as my
family.
I am really hoping that Jacob is just taking after his Aunt Holly, who once
broke the same arm twice in less than a month. Grace is definitely not my
middle name.

Hi, Gang,
I realize this is completely off topic, and
apologize in advance, but my family could really use your support and any
prayers you could offer.
My brother's 18 month old son fractured his
femur earlier this afternoon, just playing in the living room with his older
brother, who is 4. This is the 2nd long bone fracture for my nephew;
he had a tibia fracture about 4 months ago. So, after undergoing ORIF
tonight, they will be embarking on testing to discover why his bones are so
fragile. Apparently, there is a family history on my SIL's side of
Osteogenesis Imperfecti, and that is the working diagnosis.
I feel so helpless right now. Y'all can
probably see enough of my personality online to know that I really love to
fix things and help people and make things better. This is totally out
of my hands. They are staying 2 hours away, so I can't even just be there
with them.
Pray for Jacob, for healing and comfort.
Pray for Nathan, who feels like this is all his fault. Pray for my brother
and his wife.
Thanks
Holly
Of course I'll pray for Jacob, Nathan, his parents and you! I hope
that it is not anything abnormal. My niece broke her tibia at that age
as well or even a little younger when she was learning to walk and stood up
and turned at the same time hanging on to the furniture. I hope that
it's just a normal break and no disease caused it.
Take care,
Janice Martin, RN
