A rough day

On Monday night, Rylee had a roller blading fail and broke her arm.  Our awesome neighbor, who is an orthopedic surgeon, came over to look at it and said it was probably broken.  He suggested that if she could, she should wait till morning and come in to his clinic and he would have everything ready for her.  Rylee said she could wait, and we had a soft splint she was able to wear overnight.

Dan took her in in the morning to get it looked at and yes, the X-rays showed a medial distal break.  They put a cast on it.  She picked purple.

Getting fitted for the cast.

They put the cast on, then cut it down the middle and put spacers in to leave room for swelling. 

We went back a week later and they took out the spacers, squeezed the cast tight and put another purple layer over it. 

All set for the next 3 weeks.

On the very same morning that Rylee went in to get her cast, Callie got to go back to the oral surgeon for emergency help.  Her gums on both sides got infected and painful, so she got to go back and deal with that.  It required another iv to sedate her and it was not fun.  Her recovery was less fun as well.  No funny videos this time.

And she got a sore arm and some bruising from the iv.

So, it was a hectic, crazy morning.  But everyone survived and recovered and all is well!
