Yesterday (Oct. 23) Micah and Julia were laying on my bed watching a movie together. Julia had tried to climb off the bed, and in the process, she fell right off and landed on her left arm. She had started to cry and cried for about half an hour. Its unusual for her to cry that much because she normally calms down after a few minuts. Once she did calm down, I noticed her arm was still hurting her, and she wouldn't use it at all. I took her into the doctor, and the doctor had thought it was nothing. He told me to go home, ice it and give her tylenol. This morning (Oct. 24) her arm was still hurting her ALOT. She hardly slept all night, and couldn't put any pressure on her arm. I took her back into the doctor today. She saw a different doctor, who also thought it wasn't much. I asked him to take xrays, and good thing he did because poor little Julia had fractured her arm in 2 different places! I then had to take her to an Orthopedist. The orthopedist said that her fractures were pretty bad and she was lucky she didn't need surgery. However, she does need a splint on for a week and then on Nov. 3rd Julia will be going back to get a cast on for 3 more weeks! She seems to be doing ok right now, she is just trying to get used to having the splint on her arm. I will post again when she gets her cast put on.
