Frederik, Mary and Family on Summer Holidays: 2005-2008, 2012-2023

[Roskilde]

Aww sweet little Josephine
That's something many children will try througout their childhood.

But a quick recovery to her. The DRF's communication and press chief Lene Balleby says:

- Princess Josephine broke her arm in a riding accident in Gråsten last Sunday. She now has her arm in plaster and is doing very well, says Lene Balleby in a brief comment.

So we will see little Josephine with her arm in plaster at the annual family photo session in two weeks.

And yes, looks like mom, dad and Christian and Bella have draw hearts and words on her sling :)

[Daria_S]

Aww, poor Josephine. I hope she will have a speedy recovery.

i think so. the article mentions Gråsten Ridecenter, which google shows as horseback riding
but this is just based on google, maybe our Danish members can give us more info.

I think the twins might have started lessons.
Im sure Christian and Isabella have already

[MidwestMom]

Oh, poor Josephine - broken bones hurt, but children heal quickly. Hope she isn't in too much pain. Didn't Cousin Felix break his arm recently, too?

In scrolling down the HerogNu page, there's something about TV2 dropping the film about Frederik. Does that mean it will not be made at all, or just without the cooperation of the tv station?

[Archduchess Zelia]

Aw, poor little thing Looks like she's taking it in stride – like a woman – which is great. What with all the family gathering at Gråsten later this month, I won't be surprised if her cast is overdrawn with messages and little drawings at the photo opportunity – perhaps she can even talk QMII into drawing a little something on it.

I'm surprised that she was transferred from Aabenraa Hospital to Odense University Hospital for a mere broken arm though – makes me think it might be a nasty fracture.

[Muhler]

Oh, well. These things happen.
It won't be the last time M&F will go to the ER with a child.

While Josephine's fracture could be somewhat complicated I think it also very much has to do with Aabenraa Hospital not having the best reputation and really not being equipped to deal with much more than uncomplicated cases, while Odense Hospital has the most advanced ER in Denmark, so I think someone at some point decided to be on the safe side and sending her on to Odense.
It might even be a general standing order for anything that requires more than very rudimentary treatment for members of the DRF.

I hope if it is a horse riding mishap it does not scare get away from horses and they encourage her to get back on later.

[Tarlita]

Poor dear little Josephine, hope her recovery goes well and she deals with it well.

Same here, but I'm sure once the arm is given the time needed to heal and Mary and Frederick feel she's ready, they'll start slowly easing Josephine back into the Stables/Riding Centre.

Poor little Poppet...I hope it was a straight forward fracture and it heals w/no problems. What rotten timing for this to happen though. Right at the start of Summer Vacation. While Josephine will be able to do some of the things they usually do, anything on or in the water is out because of the cast.

Love they signed her sling. Slings can be kept. Casts, not so much due to the smell and I speak from experience there.

Actually they have casts now that can go in water. Great for kids who break an arm during summer vacation time. 😀

Really? It's been awhile since my last Orthopedic Surgery where the traditional cast was needed, the other times were walking casts thankfully, so did not know that. Hopefully Josephine has one of those so she doesn't miss out on all the Summer Fun. :)

Whatever the newest most cutting edge tech is Josephine has it no doubt :)

Yes, I saw this comment and thought it was spot on:

Our Josephine looks so sweet in that picture, maybe even a little proud :-) Something to show of in Kindergarten after the summer holidays. Take that brother Vincent

Exactly. They're great. My son had one of those because we left for a holiday in Spain one week after he broke his little arm and he could go to the pool everyday without any problems.

A picture of Frederik, Mary, Christian, Vincent og Josephine on bike going for horseback riding the 10th July:

I agree – once the initial shock over the fall had subsided and she had been around the hospital, she must have felt pretty badass getting to wear a cast others can draw on and she can show off to her friends I distinctly remember that feeling when I broke my arm when I was around Josephine's age, it was very big

[Princess Robijn]

Poor Princess Josephine, but lovely to see her siblings names on her sling.

Wish her a speedy recovery. Such accidents happen but she'll hopefully heal well.

Some lovely pictures we have got so far and seems the weather has been in their favour.
