Broken arm chronicles part 1 October 17, 2008

I have some news that everyone who has been following Jennifer’s story will not be expecting to read here.

Jennifer has a fractured arm. She slid down the slide at daycare and decided instead of getting off the end she would roll off the side. But instead of landing right she landed on her arm. The daycare thought it was maybe just bruised but with as much as she was complaining about it they took her to our urgent care center and sure enough it was fractured. Both of the lower arm bones near the elbow.

For now she is in a splint with an Ace wrap and a sling. She will see an orthopediatist later today at 2pm for an evaluation to see what further treatment she will need. I’ll update again after that.

Here is what she looked like the day she did it.  She was in quite a bit of pain.  Today she is much better.
