Last Saturday, my 7 year old tripped and broke her arm in two places. In the ER, they placed a temporary splint/cast on her arm. A few days later, she was to return to the hospital to have the temporary cast removed so they could straighten her broken bones and put on her fiberglass cast. As we talked about how they would remove the first cast using a special saw, our 4 year old son listened intently. After our conversation was over, he asked "When they cut Ali's hand off, can I keep it?". How cute is that!?!
