Cast # THREE

Actually cast number two for the left arm, but overall this child has been casted three times!

Today we went to the doctor to get Cadie's 'pink' cast removed. I was not expecting the chance of putting another one back on. However after Dr. Hund showed us her x-rays she did need it still. The first time she fractured her radius on her right arm. This is a complete fracture on her ulna. On her x-rays her bone looked really good on about half, but the other half still looked almost see through and had a bubble out look to it. I did ask Dr. Hund if she could just wear a brace instead of recasting her? He said No because as fragile as her bone was a slight fall could create a complete break and that would then require surgery and a pin. So needless to say a cast for 3 more weeks did seem like the better option.

She actually has become very efficient with just one hand!
Look at that face, we take tooth brushing very serious around here!
