Halle's Broken Arm....

By the next day it was pretty swollen! Dr. Bean wanted to take her picture... putting on the partial cast - she was very nervous! her moral support with Brooklyn, Grace, and Randa and blankie! All better!

Our sweet little Halle broke her arm! I was with the girls and Miranda at parent teacher confrences. Halle and Randa stayed and played outside while Brooklyn and I went to visit with her teacher. A little while later Halle came running in crying and Randa told us how she had fallen off the Monkey Bars...how many millions of times a day does that happen! I made her sit on my lap and tried to calm her down while I finished (I know...bad mom!) but it didnt look broken? By the time we were finished, I knew something was wrong. Halle is my tough little girl (she takes after me) and she was still sad and wimpering. So whenever my kids get hurt I always call my next door neighbor Alisa, she can deal with all the blood and stuff much better than me! She convinced me that something was wrong, so I took her in. The doctor who saw her that first night didnt see anything on the xray, but by the next morning they were calling me back to tell me it was broken just below her elbow. So we took her to Dr. Bean at Layton Tanner Clinic, who is not only a great orthopedic doctor, but just a great, great guy! He came walking out into the waiting room and said, "Wheres my little Halle with the hurt arm?" He was sooo cute with her and made her feel right at ease. He took us all back into his office where his desk was. He gave all the girls bone suckers and told us he went around to different schools and talked to kids about being safe on the playground. He asked Halle if he could take a picture of her because she was just about the prettiest thing he could ever show the kids. Her arm was too swollen to cast so she will have to wear a partial cast for a week before they can put a real cast on it. Which is a good thing, because she will need a week to decide what color cast she will choose!
