With 5 kids, we knew it would was inevitable that one of our kids would break a bone. My husband and I are just thankful that it hadn't happen sooner.
On Sunday, our middle child tried to jump over a wagon in our backyard. She slipped on the wet grass and her elbow landed on the wagon. Her arm has been injured before, so we didn't think too much of it until the next day when the sucker swelled to twice the size of the other arm. Phia's pediatrician took one look at her elbow and said to take her straight to the ER.
The ER Doc put her arm in a splint and arranged for us to see the Ortho Surgeon the very next morning. So, Tuesday morning the Ortho Doc says, "it's an area of concern. We usually do surgery in this instance. I'll have to refer you to a pediatric specialist." Well, they put a full arm cast on my daughter then, and we have an appt today with the Pediatric Ortho specialist.
Cross your fingers that she won't need surgery!
Phia is being a really big girl (only 6 yrs old), and she looks so cute in her red cast! I'll post post some pics this weekend.
