Today (11/24) Julia got her cast off! She had her appointment this morning. When we got there, the nurse came in to saw her cast off. Julia was pretty scared of the saw, but it was over quickly and it didn't hurt her at all. When the cast was off, she had to go in for more X-Rays. The X-rays were quick as well. Then we had to go back in and wait to see the doctor. When the doctor came in, he pulled up her X-rays. She had a break in each of the 2 bones by her elbow when the accident first happened. Right now, one break is completely healed and the second is almost healed. The second one is healed enough that they don't want to re-cast it, but she still has to be careful not to fall on it. The doctor said the second bone should be back to 100% within 2 weeks. Julia has to go back to the doctor on December 8th for another set of X-rays just to make sure the second break has completely healed and that she is using her left arm as normal again.

Yay, Julia! Those saws are scary--what a brave girl! And she looks so happy to have that cast off, waving her arms around. Just in time for the holidays!
