Kaily's broken arm

On July 25th while we were at my parents house, Kaily was playing on their playground when I heard a scream.  I looked over and there was Kaily kneeling on the ground holding her arm.  "It's broken I know it!"  She yelled at me and whimpered.  I didn't think it was broken, she says things are broken all the time and they're not.  She's kind of a drama queen when it comes to pain.  The scream I heard just as easily could have been a scratch on the leg.  I looked at it, we iced it and then I told her I would watch it for swelling.  An hour or so later I ask if I can look at it again and it had started to swell a little, but now when I slightly touched it she tells me it hurts.  I call Clint and tell him we are on the way to the hospital.  The first x-ray shows two bones broke clean through but not separated, a buckle fracture.  They wrap it, say get it checked in 10 days for the cast and she will probably need to have it on for 6 weeks.  10 days later they x-ray it again, wrap it in a cast and say come back in 3 weeks.  Today we got the cast off.

All through this Kaily was amazing!  She hardly complained when it was broke, she did awesome at the hospital and when we asked her to elevate it she did.  She complained a little about the soft cast itching and having to have it in her sling, but since the hard cast was on she hasn't complained at all.  She forgets she can't do certain things with it on, but really this experience has been really good for her.  She has learned to draw with her left hand and to write with her left as well.  She loves to practice and does a great job!  She IS excited to get it off though so she can go swimming.  We had to cancel some swimming we had planed b/c of the cast, but now she can go.
