Katie's Broken Arm










Katie broke her arm a few months ago. She was swinging and flew off backwards on to her arm. Luckily Carly our neighbor next door heard her crying and brought her home. We rushed her to the Emergency room very carefully avoided bumps in the car. She was pretty brave. She was in shock by the time we got there and was shivering and shaking. It was so sad. They put her to sleep to set the brake. She broke both the radius and ulna just above the wrist. She had to be in an up to the shoulder cast for 3 weeks and a half cast for 3 more. She had a pink cast first, then a purple. Both with sparkles of course. She learned to write with her left hand very quickly and still uses it now even though her cast is off. I am just so grateful that it wasn't worse and that she is OK.
