Our doctor isn't in the office on Tuesdays, so we saw Dr. Brokenleg (she's married to a Sioux Indian). She thought Baylie's arm was broken and sent us for x-rays. Turns out that Baylie has several fractures in both bones in her lower arm. I guess she was tired of Jalen getting all the attention. Fortunately, there are no breaks in her wrist or elbow, or on any growth plates. She will be in a splint and sling for a week and then they'll cast it when the swelling has gone down.
She's a tough little girl and has hardly cried at all. It did hurt when they twisted it to check for the break though.
I'm not convinced the sling is much help since this is what it usually looks like.
Will our life ever calm down??!!

Oh! That is so sad! I'm glad she's taking it so well though. Hopefully life will slow down now....
STOP IT! Girl, we are sending extra prayers your way...She looks really really cute in the little sling though! I can't wait until she gets a cast... make sure you buy that glitter paint or glitter spray and spark-lify that thing!!
I'm so sorry! When it rains it pours doesn't it? I hope she heals quickly
So sorry! That must really be hard for a little one! (And a mommy!) Sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the cover, I have one for you I just don't get out often but I am going to make a trip to Orem on Tues. to the mall so I can bring it by if you will be around. Hope you guys have a slower month, and everything works out a little better!
oh no. i'm sorry. when it rains, it pours. hope the storm calms over there and you can have an easy spring!
That's so lame!!! Hey...I thought this link might cheer you up though. When I saw it, I thought of you. http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2009/08/wee-wee-wigwam.html Maybe that will keep Jalen under control ;-).
:( so sad!
That is very much how the sling that was given to Amelia for a broken collar bone was worn. Didn't really help at all.
Hope she gets to healing quickly. What a tough little girl for not crying! I'm super impressed.
