After going for an x-ray scan, it becomes clear that Mia has a fracture in her femur bone - the longest and strongest bone in the body.

I was a volunteer EMT and I heard many times that the femur bone is the most painful bone to break, so this girl is straight up tough. I'd be cryin' as a full grown adult.

I assume the gas and air she was on would've helped temporarily. As I've dislocated my hip, they're usually quick to do either gaseous pain relieve or IV which would mean you don't really feel the pain. :)

This brings tears to my eyes. My son attempted a new trick on a trampoline breaking both bones in his underarm, through the skin. He had surgery that day to place a metal rod into each bone, the entire length of each. Just a few days ago, 4 months later, he just had surgery to remove the two metal rods. All this during a global pandemic. He did and is doing great. Me, the mother is still a little worse for wear. Blessings to all the amazing doctors and nurses out there.

I’m pretty sure there was a nurse in this program looked after my brother when he was in there, like ages ago. Honestly couldn’t recommend this children hospital any more.

I made a joke to myself that the narrator sounded like David Tennant. I then told myself it probably wasn't because I'm just not very used to strong scottish accents, but then I found it it really is David Tennant lol.

What wonderful care they received. Also, how sweet are these two little girls ❤️💜
I broke my femur in half.. I screamed! I was screaming! Even with pain medicine, every x-ray they took, every movement was like hell on earth for me. How is she so chilled?
Demi reminds me of my little sister, they are about the same age ❤️ and the bond between sisters is like me and my lil sis ❤️hopefully both of you recovered!
This gives me massive nostalgia, I broke my femur twice between 2019-2020 and it was easily one of the worst experiences of my life. Condolences and prayers for Mia.
I broke my tibia and femur in a sledding accident when I was 6 (went right into a tree). I don’t remember it being painful, but instead I remember trying to get back up on it and falling back down.
I broke my femur when I was almost killed in a very serious accident when I was 13 years old in 1987 I think they should have amputated my leg instead of putting me in traction for 25 days
I have also femur bone fracture last 9 month it’s quite painful journey 😌😌but Allah is kind to me 🙏
awww so sweet to each other ! I hope both are fully recovered and doing well!!
Very heart warming. God bless both sisters.
They are the sweetest little girls 🥺
My 42 yo bf broke his femur. The surgical scars were horrific. This thing can kill you. This is why I couldn’t watch much of this. But if you have this injury you ‘ve never had a better chance of recovering. God bless these doctors.

I broke my femur when I was 9 by falling off my bike. I got a rod and 3 screws and then had a 2nd surgery in middle school to get one of the screws removed. I was in a wheel chair for a few months and had several years of doctor visits and physical therapy. I'm 20 now and it still hurts but I don't notice much now. It's crazy lol
Those poor little girls, both so incredibly brave! I can’t believe she broke her Femur by slipping on the ice. I’m relieved that they’re both fully recovered and doing well! I actually got very nervous thinking was they some sort of genetic reason that the girls (sisters) had weak bones or something being that they were both so seriously injured. It’s such a freaky kind of accident. Thank God is wasn’t, l think they would have said something on the video if it was.
