Today was her second visit with the orthopedic doctor.  He did some xrays again and said that really everything looks about the same.  Still 2 fractures.  1 chip fracture near the growth plate and the other a buckle (or compression) fracture in the other lower arm bone.

But the good news is……………..no more splint!!!  Believe it or not!  It pays to be 3 sometimes!!  He said that with her type of fractures it is worse to leave them splinted as the arm starts to become stiffened.  She already had some stiffening present when he took the splint off. 

Here is the hard part……….keep a 3 year old sorta quiet for the next 2 weeks!  I would say that he must not have little kids but in reality he does.  

Next appointment in 2 weeks for more xrays and recheck to make sure it is healing correctly.
