I don't want to hijack the other thread but I wanted to update on my daughter's broken arm. We saw Ortho yesterday and she is having surgery tomorrow. They were not able to completely reduce it in the ER, it's still completely displaced. I'll TRY to add pix... I'm bad at it, apparently.
Please cross your fingers for a smooth surgery and uneventful recovery!!
Before reduction- That bone should not be pointing at her ribs

All went well then?
She'll have surgery in the morning. She's been ok most of the week. Not as much pain as I'd anticipated.

Well she sure did a good job! I know God will be looking over her and you. It's gonna be fine and someday it'll just be a funny story to tell. Hang tuff!
EEK! I needed to look closer at pic...best with surgery. So hard to watch your kiddo go under anesthesia and be wheeled away. Check in with us while you are waiting.
