General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Sorry about your daughter! Regarding your daughters experience with fractured femur in the presence of two of your other sons jumping on the bed I am suggesting strongly that the fracture is as a result of sons falling on top of her

In view of this please do an x-ray of the femur to confirm the diagnosis

Please see an orthopaedic specialist with the result and for further expect evaluation and application of plaster of Paris (POP)

I hope this helps Regards
