Halle's broken arm

Last Saturday Halle and Luke were playing on the slide in our basement (it's one of those Little Tykes slides) and she fell and went down hard on her right wrist. She was crying a lot more than usual so I thought something might be really wrong but she got better as the night went on so we thought it was okay. But we noticed she seemed to be using her right arm/hand less and was kind of just letting it hang loose to her side. Then, the next morning she tripped and fell on it and she was hysterical so we took her into the ER and got xrays and were shocked when they said she had broken her arm in two places! Both bones in the arm were fractured above the wrist. We felt so bad.

The cast doesn't slow her down and she still tries to keep up with Luke as much as ever. She has also found some "creative" ways of making use of her cast and I've caught her using it as a weapon against Luke at times!

Luke has been a good boy and we've tried to explain to him that she has a big owie. He tells everyone that Halle has a big owie and broke her arm.
