Purple Cast

This afternoon the helpful doctors and nurses at Primary Children's Orthopedic center took more x-rays, removed the splint, and put on this lovely cast. Miranda was a very good girl, except for the part where she scream-cried the entire time they were putting on her cast. I think it was because they were holding her down and holding her arm in a way that made it hurt. The technical term for the break is a supracondylar humerus fracture. It's the part of the arm/elbow toward the upper arm. She'll have this cast on for 3 weeks before they x-ray her again. We want everyone to know that she picked purple (probably the least dirt-showing color of all) all on her own (which we are very happy about!). Now she'll just have 3 weeks of sponge baths and staying out of sandboxes. *Note the Dora sticker for good behavior.
