First broken arm!

Well, I've never broken a bone, neither has Elle. SO this was my first experience with a cast! Pinky was playing around on our VERY heavy bar stools... swinging around on them. I kept telling her she was going to get hurt if she didn't stop...
Well, she finally did get hurt, it toppled over on her the other day and it landed right on her wrist! She really screamed! She continued to use it, even though she held it tightly to guard it. And after a few days she was still not putting pressure on it and would hold it tight, plus it looked wierd, not like the other wrist. I took her to the pediatrician, then to to the radiologist for an X ray, then back to the Pediatrician, then since it was broken, I was then had to go to the orthopedist. I had a busy day1

Pinky liked the cast though. They let her pick out a color, of course she picked pink. In two weeks we'll go back to have it X rayed again.

Elle is in the process of getting braces right now, she got 4 spacers put in last week and had an appt. this morning to get her brackets put on, but we had to reschedule due to broken bones!

Other crazy stuff has been happening, but I don't want to turn this into a whiny post! So, I'll stop here and update later!

Ahhh. Poor thing! That sounds so sad. I am glad they at least had a cast in a cool color to ease the pain a little.

It sounds like you guys are having a crazy week. Are you ready for school? You could watch my kids for me with all your free time:)

"Ha' ha, ha, I win! It's broken!" That's what Bell said when they finally brought her in to have her sprain looked at and discovered she had broken her arm. You probably could have guessed that Bell was the only one of us who ever broke anything when we were kids, eh?

Poor little Pinky. At least she got a cast that lives up to her name! Love you guys.
