A broken arm

Here are some pictures of Kaelyn and her broken arm throughout the week-long process. The picture below was after getting home from the Madison County Hospital ER. They put it in a youth XS sling. That worked for that night and part of the next day, but it was just too big.


Then on Tuesday afternoon we took Kaelyn to Children's because of issues getting into an orthopedic surgeon and the sling wasn't doing it's job. Below is a picture after Kaelyn was admitted to Children's and they put her arm in a splint until her surgery the next day.


Here is the picture of the final product, her pink AND blue cast, as she requested. Things are starting to get back to normal now for her. The biggest snag that we ran into today was a dress that she wanted to wear didn't fit over her cast.



Another wrinkle in the story, her cousin Kalvary, fell off of the refrigerator at their house on Sunday morning and also broke her arm. Luckily for her, no surgery was needed. Here they are sporting their Pink and Blue and Pink and Green casts. They were trying to look like they were in some pain!

Quite humorous. I can say that since I don't have to pay the bills. What a memory.

At least Kalvary and Kaelyn have each other. When did/do the casts come off? At least there is no swimming involved. When Jayla had her cast she was missing out on swimming. We will just have to see the healed arms at Thanksgiving.
