Broken Arm

We had our first broken bone experience today. Abby fell at the playground. She really did a good job fracturing her arm! Thankfully she is 7 and will only be in a full arm cast for a week. (An adult would have needed surgery for this type of fracture.) And she was such a trooper. She barely cried and had to endure hours of sitting in doctor's offices with no lunch.

She reminded me you could purchase a cast from the American Girl catalog. She wondered if we "should" get one for Alexis so they could match. Since they are $26 we tried to come up with an alternative. She asked the orthopedist if he could make a little cast for her doll. :) We settled for some colored athletic wrap at Target. But the doctor did throw in some cotton wrap to make it official.
