Can we say poor Molly again? Poor Molly my daredevil. Last Friday, she was playing in Rachel's crib(like she always does) and fell jumping out. The cry had a very different pitch to it! I comforted her and she continued on with the play date we were having. She complained not that it hurt but that she couldn't get dressed, and couldn't put on her shoes all weekend. She was able to play soccer on Saturday night at a birthday party and jump on the neighbors trampoline so we didn't think too much about it. We even MADE her take a bike ride on Sunday. After watching the arm just hang to her side we decided to take a closer look. We noticed how swollen it was. There was NO swelling on Friday. Feeling guilty I decided to take her to the doctor on Monday. As the doctor was examining her arm, twisting and turning it, I thought to myself... Did I just waste $30 on a copay? She said that it didn't hurt at all. Anywhere he touched it! The doctor ordered an X-ray just to rule out any ligament damage. Well, weren't we ALL surprised... Two buckle fractures! And the poor girl was in no pain! The pediatrician put a temporary cast on and referred us to the Ortho department. Molly was in tears leaving the doctor's office. Not because she was in pain, but because she the hospital gown they made her wear wasn't up to her fashion standards!
So today she got her permanent cast. What a long morning! It was so boring to be stuck in the little room. Molly and Rachel made the best of it!!
What color cast did she choose? PINK of course. Its a very pretty bright pink. Just in time for our trip to Texas tomorrow. No swimming or playing in the lake for Ms. Molly! Enjoy the photo opp!
