Grace went back to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday to get her arm checked out.
They took off her cast, I freaked out that she had some kind of skin disease (had no idea how dry skin gets when in a cast... gross), they x-rayed it (again), and the doctor proclaimed her cured!
It looks like it was just a really, really bad sprain.
Yay!
(Er.... 'yay!' that it wasn't fractured... not 'yay!' that her elbow was sprained).
Unfortunately, she grew a bit attached to the cast. And cried when we tried to leave without it. So we took the gross thing home, where she carried it around with her everywhere the rest of the day.
Whatever.
She's still very much baby-ing it, which the doctor says is normal, and her arm still looks diseased (we're trying Eucerin cream now... hopefully it helps), but I'm so thankful that everything was okay and that we are cast-free!
Bring on the cute long-sleeved shirts!

I love reading your blog - you really make your kids come to life. i remember when i got my cast of my leg - it was super skinny and looked diseased for weeks - so hers shouldn't be that bad:)
I'm glad she's cured! Good luck with getting the stinky cast away from her
We are so glad that Gracie's arm is okay!! What a blessing! Now, the butterfly can get around on two wings instead of one!
