Broken Arms..
Friday afternoon Brooke decided to go scootering with one of her best friends. . Not even a half an hour later she walked in the door crying.. Went upstairs to find that she had road rash on the back of her shoulder, head, both knees and hand. She was then holding her little arm crying that it hurt really bad. Granted, we have been through this in the past with this child (one a year to be exact).. She quit crying about it and just held it like it a dog would if it had broken its leg. I was extremely used to this behavor being an expert in my child breaking her arm and all. I knew she broke it but I didn't want to make her worry. So, I asked her friend to go home and got my little girl a Tylenol and went to the Urgent Care for Children.. Granted its nothing like the ER. We got the prescription for the xray, walked to registration got registered and then went to xray to wait for 2 hours.. After getting my babys arm hurt again from the exray tech moving it around we got the xray and low and behold I was right. (of course)..Her little arm had a buckle fracture right above her wrist on the inside bone. We then walked back to the Urgent care to let the doc look at the xray to tell us it was broken. (didn't see that one coming).. He splinted it and sent us on our way.. Poor kid though.. Ibuprophen and Tylenol.. She has lived on that for pain meds since it happened.. I just hope that seeing the xray we dont have to have it reset. The bone was a tiny bit off.. Well, now the biggest thing to her is what color of cast she should have.. If it matches her clothing all perfectly.. I am just greatful that it wasn't worse..
