Our dear Violet fell off the sliding board last Saturday. She came in crying but soon got over it and was back to playing. I noticed that she favored her left arm but I figured it was just sore.
On Sunday we noticed that it was swollen around the elbow.
So on Monday, after dropping the kids off at the sitter and taking Luci to a new dentist( wish I had my GPS then) I took Violet to the family doctor who sent me somewhere else for X-rays.
On Tuesday afternoon they called and said there was no fracture but they still wanted to send her to the orthopedic in Hershey and in the meantime put her in a sling. Well, I was at Blue Marsh at this point so it wasn't until Wednesday that I could pack everyone in the sub and go to another unfamiliar location to get her a sling. They finally got back with me for an appt at the specialist in Hershey and I'd need to go where she got the x-rays and get a copy of them to take the specialist.
Well, Friday came and after using my sitter again, Violet and I headed to Hershey with my new GPS. I had to admit to my sister at this point a tiny piece of me was thinking that something had better be wrong with her arm to make up for all this trouble.The specialist looked at the x-rays and said they couldn't see anything but from the swelling they believe she has a tiny tear in her cartilage at her elbow.
Soooo they put a not so tiny cast on her arm for two weeks.
What color would a girl named Violet who is wearing a purple shirt pick?
Now if we can keep this little fish out of the water.
