Broken Arm Update

Momma Post: Today we saw the doctor and BIG NEWS….no cast required! The doctor said that of all bones and ways to break a bone, it was the best break to have (our luck is changing!). I have to say, the x-ray looked pretty intense, but that’s why he’s the doctor and not me! She will be in a sling for about 4 weeks he estimates. He said after about 2 weeks, and the new wearing off, it will be hard to keep her in it because she won’t have any or very little pain, but it will still be a weak area and could easily be broken again by falling on it or reinjuring it somehow before it is fully repaired-about 8 weeks from now. No sports this summer…I guess tackle football is out for now! I took her back to school for a little while just to get “normal” again! But as pointed out by several of my teacher friends…”is there really a ‘normal?’”
