Today was an eventful day, ranging from Bayo meeting the First Lady of Nigeria to David breaking his arm.
I was fully engaged in giving an extensive tour of the ministry and providing lunch to 8 visitors from the US--until I got a call from David's school.
I met a missionary doctor in the hospital, and she greatly streamlined the process of getting David's x-rays. Amazingly, we were out of the hospital within an hour. Under other circumstances, we could have been there for hours. Cost so far: $17.
Thankfully David's break is quite minor, and the bone does not need to be set. We don't know yet if he will get a cast; for now he's in a sling. He is amazingly chipper and hasn't even needed any pain medication.
David's experience brought back memories of when Tobi was 6 and broke his arm diving out of a treehouse window which was about 6 feet off the ground. In David's case, he was swinging on a 6 foot bar at the playground with one hand, lost his grip and landed on his elbow. So both of my boys broke their left arms while they were in kindergarten.
Let's just hope Lily doesn't follow in her brothers' footsteps!

What a tradition your kids have. Let's hope Lily breaks the pattern (pun intended!). I'm glad David isn't in a lot of pain. I remember hearing how painful Tobi's break was. Tell David Grandma and Grandpa wish him well.
