Here is Evanna...at the doctor getting a splint and sling for her arm... It actually happens to be the one the nurse is holding while the splint hardens, the other arm is just in the stuff to show her it didn't hurt.
STORY: My sisters and mom and I went to the Rest Home to visit on Sunday... Jon was watching the kids (hmm... (: ) I get home and Jon tells me that Evanna fell off her bike and hurt her arm but that it didn't look bruised or anything.
Evanna wakes up and cries and cries and cries saying her arm hurt and that Cheyanne, our neighbor, ran her over (come to find out later when her mom did ask her, she totally did run her over with her bike...) Jonathan says shes fine (she isn't bleeding out and a bone isn't sticking out of her arm, so she must be alright?! WRONG!!!) So I watch her that night and she is moving it around. I figure if she is moving it, she probably just bruised it. MONDAY: She holds it close to her body and it hurts her but she is still moving it.... hmm... TUESDAY: It gets totally swollen around her elbow... Her arm is like twice as big.. DANG IT!!!
So we call and make an appointment for the next day. They do X-Rays and inform me that she has fractured her growth plate and tweaked the bone. So they did a splint and said if she can keep it REALLY STILL for five days, she will only have to wear a splint for a couple weeks. If she can't she will have to get a cast for a few weeks. (ok, what 3 year old can hold still?) I think i would have felt better with a cast to start off with. That kid is giving me heart attacks, as she falls on it, pulls her sling off, climbs on the table only to fall....AHH!!!
We go back on Tuesday to take more X-Rays to see if the splint has worked....My guess is going for cast....I will be really really shocked if it has healed after all she has done.... I can hope right?
