Another broken limb...

This time it was Natalie's turn.  Last Friday night at a farewell potluck for R and A, Natalie was running around the hall when she slipped.  She cried and cried... wouldn't use her right arm... nothing could distract.  So... I got to the Stollery around 9:30.  At 1am, I was sent for xrays... at 1:55am, we saw the doctor who confirmed that it was a Buckle Fracture. We soon after saw the Ortho Tech who splinted and wrapped her arm up.  We're in this splint for 3 weeks.  :)  Natalie is a trooper and doesn't mind it at all.   A few times she claims it's all better and wants it off, but now it's just a thing she lugs around!   It's nice that we can remove it for the tub etc.   Eating ribs tonight wasn't such a good idea!! Time for a new, clean tensor!
