Poor angel. A beautiful Saturday morning. Ice cream for breakfast (long story). A ride on the swings in the back yard, jump off the swings, and *snap* a broken arm.
She has a supracondyal fracture, which is the most common kind of fracture in kids her age. Hers was a III which is the worst severity. Basically, her humerus bone snapped just above the elbow joint and the bone displaced itself over two centimeters.
She had a little surgery to put in three pins to hold it together while it heals. In a week, she will have a cast put on. Three weeks after that, it should be all better.
It is her non-dominant left hand, so school should not be a problem.
This picture is Miss D in the car leaving the clinic on our way down to Primary Children's Hospital to see the orthopedic surgeon.
