I kinda forgot that I hadn't blogged about Ellie's broken arm until I read a comment on my last post that asked about it.
Yes, Ellie did break her arm. On the 14th of December while I was shaking my booty at Zumba, Kasey was home watching Ellie and Kimberly. When I got home, Kasey told me that Ellie fell down the stairs and hurt her wrist. I looked at it and sure enough, it was swollen. I asked her to let me look at it and she pulled away. "No mom! Don't touch it! It huuuuurts!!" So we iced it and called the doctor.
A few hours later we got in to the doctor's office. After telling the nurse what happened she said, "I'll give you twenty dollars if it isn't broken."
We ran over to the hospital to get some x-rays. Not only was her arm broken, but both bones in her arm were broken. She had what the doctor called a "buckle" fracture. I'm not great at explaining it, but if you are interested there is an explanation here.
She got a pretty pink cast (they were all out of purple), and we went on our way. Ellie loves having everyone sign her cast. She especially loves the "pirate ship" her grandpa drew on it.
A quick x-ray this morning showed that her bones are healing nicely, and she will get her cast off a week from today. I can hardly wait! I'm getting kinda tired of helping 2 kids pull up their pants after going potty.

On an unrelated note: I really love this picture. I love the idea that Sammy is watching over her sisters from Heaven. I know she is!

Thanks for explaining! That sounds yeowch. But it sounds like it's healing fast. I mean she's going to get it off soon!
