A couple of weeks ago Lindsy took a tumble off our love sac and broke her arm. The doc looked at the x-ray and said it seemed pretty straight forward. Just cast it for 4 weeks and call it good. But he wanted to have her come in in a few days for another x-ray. So when Amy took her back in after a few days they realized that she had broken both bones in her forearm (ulna and radius for for you anatomists). He said that if she were older they would have to do surgery and put a pin in to hold it together, but since she's so little they would have to put her under general anesthesia and manipulate her arm so it was aligned and then re-cast it. So that's what we did this morning. Here are some high/low lights.
She was pretty mad about the whole thing.
She was pretty mad about the whole thing.
She screamed at her mom a lot.
Her big sister couldn't handle the screaming at times.
There were a few moments when the TV kept us entertained.
But by far the worst part was sending her away down the hall with the strangers in the scary masks. I hope she'll forgive us. She has a new fancy pink cast now and everything turned out fine.
