couldn't put Ava's elbow back together again. But the doctor could, and now she's in a splint. On Monday, she'll get a BE*A*UTIFUL cast the goes up past her elbow.
She fell off our kitchen chair. It was a very tragic event. Nate thought she dislocated her shoulder, but her shoulder looked ok. She stopped screaming for a minute, but then she kept holding her arm, so I called the doctor, and the doctor said to come into Instacare. At first, they thought it was her wrist because it was swollen. They took her to get x-rays and they came back just fine. Then Nate mentioned that whenever we touch her elbow, she cries. So, the doc started feeling her elbow, and she started screaming! They took her back again to get x-rayed, and it showed she broke her elbow.
Pics will come soon.
It's been a tragic couple of days. Ava is extremely independent. Take that independence away because of a broken elbow that has to be in a sling, and you get one extremely ornery 2 year old.
On the upside, I took Hallie in for her 4 month old check up. She is 24 inches long and weighs 12 lbs. 11 oz. She is growing like a weed! The doctor couldn't believe that she is sleeping through the night and that she's all ready tripled her birthweight. She's a champ!
Oh,the poor girl. I hope she will heal quickly to get out of the cast.
ReplyDeleteOuch! That has got to be hard to keep her happy and comfortable. Is the sling hard to deal with too? Kitchen chairs are dangerous. We know of a few other kids who had similar experiences.
ReplyDeleteoh no! At least she won't have to wear the cast in the middle of summer--that's the worst! Let me know if I can do anything for you!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is to bad that happened to her, I hadn't read this. She is a champ and Alli can't wait to play with her, she keeps asking for ABa..he he.
