Yesterday my two-year-old niece, Veronica, fell as she was running out the hall at their house. She refused to walk on her leg after that but when she held still she seemed to be fine. Since she still couldn’t walk today they took her to the doctor who promptly sent her for x-rays. Her femur is broken.
That’s all I know so far. I will update this as I hear more. For now, will you join me in praying for Veronica, her mommy, Beth, and their family:
~ for healing and pain relief for Veronica
~ for the other children to be extra gentle and kind (they already are extra sweet, docile kids but extra, extra wouldn’t hurt!)
~ forBeth who is mommy to four children ages 2 months to 3 years. She was so excited about having a three year old and 2 two year olds with a baby this time as opposed to a 14 month old and twin baby girls (as in they can all walk, go potty, eat by themselves). Now going potty and sitting and everything will be a challenge and walking out of the question for Veronica. She’s an amazing mom but this is going to be a huge stretch even for super mom. 
Update: Veronica’s cast will start at her waist and go down both legs. They have to take her to a larger hospital to get her casted.
Oh no! Praying for a quick healing for Veronica, and for extra grace for her Mommy.
wow that’s got to be tough! will be praying for them!
Bless their hearts! That’s rough. Praying for grace and strength…
It’s hard enough to have a 2 year old with a broken arm… I can’t imagine what it would be like to have both legs in a cast. I am praying for them!
My heart aches for her! This is exactly what we went through with Jamison, it happened on his 4th birthday and he was in a body cast for 6 weeks! I would love to get in touch with her! Message me an email address or something, please!
