What a Terrible Halloween-Heartbroken Child UPDATE

[ugadog99]

Well, this did not turn out to be the Halloween we had planned. My 8 year old DD fell off the monkey bars at school today. Since I teach at the same school, her teacher came to get me. When I got to the nurse's office she told me she thought it was broken. We got to the emergency room at 1:15 and walked out of the hospital at 7:15! She broke the bone right under the thumb area on her right hand. They put her to sleep, put it back in place and put a soft cast on it. Of course, no trick or treat for her! She was heartbroken. We had gone to TDS and gotten the Snow White costume. When we were in WDW last December she just fell in love with the Snow White. We kept seeing the same girl over and over and Karen was convinced it WAS the REAL Snow White. She was so proud of her costume and just cried and cried in ER. She was such a brave girl and the most fun night of the year for kids was ruined for her. I know with all the other serious medical problems going on around here this isn't much. I am very thankful she is healthy and going to be fine. I just hated to see her so sad. Anyone know a way to get an autographed picture of Snow White for her? Thanks for listening ya'll!


UPDATE:
I am reading all these wonderful replies with tears in my eyes. The DIS is such a wonderful place. Thank you all so much for your concerns and good thoughts. Karen and I just returned from seeing the surgeon this morning. He says the hand and fingers look good. She will return next Wednesday for more Xrays. Right now there are no plans for a permanent cast. She will stay in the soft cast and sling for quite a few weeks. I have sent PMs to Kara and her mom. They are being just wonderful! Thank you all again! Karen sends a big thank you, too!

Poor baby, that really stinks. Glad to hear that besides the break she is doing okay.

 

[Lorix2]

Oh that's terrible! I'm glad she's doing well and I hope you are able to find an autograph for her.

Oh gosh.. I'm crying now...

Could you maybe have a little Halloween party for her this weekend?

I'm glad it wasn't more serious though..

 

[CookieGVB]

Poor baby, that's awful!

Halloween is a big deal for kids - second only to Christmas for some.

I won't be in WDW until December; if you don't get a Snow White autograph by then, I'd be happy to get one for her.

I know of a school and a day care center that got rid of the monkey bars because too many kids broke arms falling off!

Ugadog my heart is breaking for her. Pixie Dust and hope she is doing better.

ugadog99---Zurg and zurgswife and family are at WDW as we speak. Maybe if you PM Zurg, he or his wife could pick up a postcard and get it signed for your little princess. Poor sweetheart, to be so ready and to have her plans ruined like that. Glad to hear she was so brave and all will be well eventually. Big {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for both of you.

Oh, i am so sorry, DD just did the same thing about two weeks ago. We just got the hard cast yesterday. I hope she will not be in any pain tonight...lots of hugs and pixie dust from snowwhitemom....but I don't think that I compare to her snowwhite.

I'm not positive that she's still Snow White, but one very occasional poster here has been Snow White for a while, and her mom (PKK/MJK) and sister (KaraKW) post here more regularly. I'm sending them a link to this post now. Maybe they can help you out.

I was also going to suggest Kara or her mom. I am pretty sure Snow White is still in the "World" and would be HAPPY to help if she can.

Poor Baby!! I am so glad she is OK, but what a bummer for her.

 

[janette]

Poor thing

As Kermit said there are a few people with connections to Snow White. I'll bet they could help it. It might have been her you saw at WDW. She's a beautiful Snow White.

 

[ead79]

Poor thing! Maybe you could hide some candy in your house and have her hunt for it (sort of like a mix of Easter egg hunt and trick or treating). I'm glad she's okay now!

 

[lynetteSC]

Hi! I am leaving Sat the 9th for WDW. Let me know if you haven't gotten a snow white autograph by then, and I will be more than happy to pick up one for you!!!! Poor thing! Maybe some of your neighbors will pitch in and hold "Halloween" this weekend for you????

 

[browneyes]

How about if your dd hosts a Princess party for her and her friends soon? She can wear her costume.

 

[honeywolf7]

Poor baby {{{Hugs}}} for her.

Yikes! Big {{hugs}} for her.

 

[Rajah]

Poor thing!!

 

[Beanie]

I sent you a PM! So sorry to hear about your DD's terrible day!!
