Buckle Fracture of the Distal Radius:

In English now: The radial bone (one of the bones in your forearm) crushed, or wrinkled if you will at the point furthest from your elbow. We had the extra "TREAT" of having her ulna be cracked as well. So here it is. The full-arm cast. Yes, full-arm. She was just supposed to get one that went to about the middle of her forearm, but it was broken enough that they needed to do a full-arm cast. GOOD TIMES! This next Friday we get to go in and get some more x-rays (because I have endless amounts of money) and see if it has shifted or not. If it has not shifted then we change for the forearm cast, if it has shifted then we get to go in for surgery and get it pinned! YAY! (I hope you can tell that I'm being sarcastic) So all of you PRAY that her little bone stays in place. We don't need/want surgery around here. Luckily it did not affect her growth plate so she will not have problems with this in the future.

Now, for your viewing pleasure:


And our little man Cohen. Sleeping. Apparently this was a really comfortable pose because he didn't move for about 3 hours.


Finally, my new little (okay they definitely are NOT little but still..) lovelies. Gotta love Black Friday KILLER deals! Can I just tell you how much I love them? They get things SO CLEAN and are super cheap to run. My washer costs us $10 a year to run! Can't argue with that.

That doesn't sound fun at all with the broken arm. I hope all else is going well for your family. We need to come see you guys sometime and check out where you are now living.
