Today we went to orthopedics. The doctor said Gabriella broke her arm good. When she does something she always does it good, that's for sure! She broke two different bones in two different areas. He wants to monitor her every week for the next 6 weeks. He said they way she broke it, if she were an adult, he would do surgery on her right now. But since she is so young and her bones are still growing, it may move back in to the right spot and heal on it's own. That is why he wants to monitor it every week. He will know within a few weeks if she will have to have surgery. If they do surgery she will have to get external pins put in her arm. YUCK! I'm not sure how I will handle that one! That kind of creeps me out.
She had to get a cast up to her arm pit, which she is not very happy about! LOL If she starts healing well, she can get a smaller cast in a couple of weeks. With a little encouragement (heh heh), she chose hot pink! I LOVE it! It soooo fits her personality! When we go back next week, she will get a new cast....wonder what color she will get this time. Now is the fun part! Off to get everyone to sign her cast!!!! I am first though! ;)
