Broken Arm

July 29, 2009

After falling at Lost In fun and having an x-ray taken we headed to the Nebraska Orthopedic office. I really didn't think that Madi had broke her arm. Initially, the doctor wasn't even going to send us for x-rays. While talking with me the doctor kept feeling Madi's arm and Madison winced a little in one spot. That was enough to send us for the x-ray. We went home to wait it out overnight. Madison sat around and didn't use her arm much that night. We iced it, but it really wasn't swollen. In the morning I was very surprised to get the call saying that it was broken. Madison was very upset and didn't want to get a cast. We ended up waiting to see the doctor for almost an hour! By that time, Madi didn't care what they did to her arm, she just wanted to get out of there! She picked a purple cast and we were on our way. Ethan had to help her put her seatbelt on for a few days before she got the hang of things. I think he really liked helping her out. The last picture is the day she got the cast taken off. What a glorious day!!! I was ready for her to dress herself and ready for easier bath time!
