The Cast

On Friday we went to the park with some friends to have lunch and ride bikes. Lilly was walking on the path toward me and her friend was riding her bike back towards us. they heard each other and they both moved over to get around the other. Then her friend accidentally ran into Lilly and Lilly fell. I didn't really think anything of it at the time. Lilly said that her arm hurt but I told her that she might have just hurt it a little and it just needed to sleep on it and she would probably be fine.

On Saturday she was complaining all day about her arm hurting. I really just thought that she was extra tired and needed to sleep. Finally in the afternoon we opted to just take her to the urgent care place. I really was sitting in there thinking that we were here for nothing and she would be just fine. We went and got an x-ray and low and behold she had a buckle fracture. So they gave her a soft cast and sling and sent us on our way.

Then on Tuesday we went to the orthopedist to get the real cast. Lilly was such a trooper about the whole thing. She is so excited to have people sign it and everything. She only has to wear it for 4 weeks and it's waterproof so we don't have to worry about it getting wet. We are just glad that she is OK and all will heal well.
