...but we (the parents) weren't so sure.
Until Monday or Tuesday, Brooke will have to have her arm immobilized in this sling until an orthopedic doctor determines what to do about her broken radius bone. Yes! Broken!
Our first experience with a broken bone in one of our children.
I have to admit that we really didn't think she was too hurt. Yesterday, she was playing volleyball (now known forever more as, "stupid volleyball" by Brooke), and we weren't there when she dove for the ball, scraping her knees, and as she said, "twisting" her arm. She took a long break from all the action, but by dark was riding a bike.
So, this morning, with the Urgent Care facility literally next door, we headed to see our neighbor-doctor. Got x-rayed. And the X-Ray Technician says to her, "Wow. When did this happen? Yesterday? Wow. You are a tough girl."
That's when I knew there was a broken bone involved.
