Broken limbs

I think that every kid has to break something at some time or another....we had a little girl who a broke her arm about a week ago. Aidan has been brave through the whole process...of course it was a monkey bar accident!!!! I think they should ban these from school playgrounds. Her first cast was purple and she actually thought of it as a fashion accessory. She matched her cast to her costume from the Flintstones, even though she did not get to perform in her first Fourth Friday event. This week the "bone" doctor gave her a shorter tie-died cast that she will have on for three weeks. The neat thing about this cast is that it is completely waterproof!

The break was a slight angulation of the distal radius...and here is a pic of the x-ray...

(which I will insert later...not near the scanner)
