Broken Arm!!!

So we had a little accident.  Our ever adventurous Rowan fell off of a chair on Friday. Yes, she cried... but it wasn't that bad.  Ro is really tough.  I wonder where she gets her pain tolerance? ;)

This is Saturday: Notice no cast/splint.. Happy as a clam. 
 Well, getting ready for church on Sunday, she slipped and fell again in some water near the shower.  And cried some more... So we figured we better take her in for xrays.  By the time we drove all the way to Austin, she was all smiles.  So we figured we wasted our time and money.  Right?!
 Wrong!
 All splinted up after finding a broken radius and ulna...

 Learning how to eat again... using a fork with the left  hand is now much easier, but for a while it was tough work.  We resorted back to hands...

 But we were still up for playtime :)
 Thursday: We finally got to see the orthopedic dr for a cast. 

 SO happy!!! Rowan was amazing.  She didn't even care. 


Only 3 weeks and we can go back to swimming.... Until then we have to stay dry. (Easier said than done). 
Aside from the concerned look of strangers, we are doing really well.  Rowan doesn't mind the cast at all... reminds her of when she's had IV's and had her arms taped up probably.  

Pretty much, we are living a normal crazy toddler life lately!  It's fabulous!  Our next check up in Houston will be May 16... woo hoo- cast will be off by then.

  1. This reminds me of when Emily broke her leg! Same thing, after we got her to the ER she turned all smiles on us. Even the Dr didn't think it was broken! Well, until the X-rays came back. They are so resilient! The splint, then cast, didn't really get her down! Glad to see Ro is taking it all in stride! Love our little girls!
