Emma's Arm

Lucas took the kids outside Sunday evening to run off some energy and then came through the door carrying a crying little girl. Emma had fallen off our slide and really hurt her arm. We iced her arm right away (with an economy pack of frozen corn) and gave her some Motrin. She calmed down enough that we decided to wait until Monday morning to take her to the Doctor. After mobility tests and an x-ray it was confirmed that there were no acute fractures. She wore a splint for 3 days straight and is now wearing it off and on throughout the day. If she is still having alot of pain by Monday morning we have to have it x-rayed again because sometimes hairline fractures don't show up right away. Her arms still bothers her at times, but there has been a huge improvement the last couple of days. Her splint has not slowed her down. Here are some pictures from the park on Tuesday morning.
