Unpredictable.
Yesterday I got a call from the school nurse. Little Sis had fallen from the monkey bars and hurt her wrist. The nurse had iced it, elevated it and sent Little Sis ( who seemed fine) back to class with orders to the teacher to watch her. She called me to just keep me in the loop. Little Sis was using her hand to color and not complaining.
Well, I went to pick her up at school to take her to a dentist appointment. I reached to grab her hand to lead her across the busy school parking lot. She said "Ow, my wrist hurts." I looked at her and she was holding the hand kind of funny and out away from her body. Josh was with me, he said he thought it was broken. We proceeded to cancel said dentist appointment and head to the pediatric urgent care clinic. Two very long hours later they told us that Little Sis had indeed broken not one but both of the lower bones in her little arm, just above the wrist.
This is one brave girl. She cried at school when the accident happened, but the entire visit to urgent care she was tough, no tears, occasionally she said "Ow, ow" when the Dr, nurse, radiologist, etc would manipulate her wrist. I was proud of her.
Today we headed to an orthopedic appointment where her splint was traded out for a bright pink cast. (Did you think she'd pick any other color?) Now she is resting and relaxing watching T.V. Dr said she's fine to go to school tomorrow.
Big Bummer Alert: She'll have the cast on until after our Disney vacation. I told her that maybe the Princesses can sign it.
