OUCH!

I know I am way behind and most of you have heard about Emmaleigh's arm. Here is what happened.......Emmaleigh fell off one of her really good friends back while playing horsey and she injured her elbow. We thought it wasn't a big deal so I threatened to spank her if she didn't stop crying and over reacting but that didn't work so I knew she was really hurt. I took her to Sutter Roseville Medical Center where I got to sit in the ER, with neither of us having eaten since breakfast, from 1:30 until almost 5:00 while they "fixed" her arm. They started by saying they thought she had a buckle fracture. After 4 sets of x-rays with a very nasty technician they said she broker her elbow and that was the problem but what was worse was it looked like there may be osme injury to her growth plate. So she was put in a splint until she could see the orthpaedic surgeon. She saw Dr. Gotham and he put her in a hot pink cast and she will have that taken off on April 7th. If her arm has not healed by then she may still have to have surgery. Below are some pics of our experience.
