Broken Arm

 Brooklyn did not like the fact that she had to wear her sling.  We insisted that she wear it, but after she proved to us that she was fine without it, it was gone.  The wrapping they did at the ER was intense.  It was huge.  She was not able to wear any normal shirts.  Because she could not get her arm in the sleeves.  But thank goodness that only lasted a few days, and then off to get a real cast.

AS you can tell, a broken arm did not stop Brooklyn from doing everything she wanted to, including jumping on the trampoline. 

A week after she broke her arm, she was finally getting that HUGE wrap off and getting a nice little cast.  Brooklyn said she wanted an indigo colored cast, but I was not sure that color would be available.

 

 Brooklyn looked a little too excited to be in the doctors waiting room.  

 

We were so lucky to have found a doctor that provides water proof casts.Yes you heard me right, water proof casts.  Heck, we were going to be in Southern California in a few weeks, ocean, lakes, and pools we had to get water proof or the whole trip for Brooklyn would be so depressing.

She did such a great job, the doctor wanted her to move her hands and she was very hesitant to do so, because she knew it hurt or that she could not, so she ended up crying and never moving her hands.  

 After the doctor examined her arm, Brooklyn was able to pick out the cast color, and of all colors she picked PINK!

 I thought bring 4 years old and having a broken arm, she did a pretty good job with following directions and staying still. 

 As you can tell by the pictures, Brooklyn was very interested in what the doctor was doing to her arm.  Mom was very interested as well.  I have never seen a cast put on before. 

Brooklyn did a great job, and heck she could jump in the shower or a pool right after that...Wooo Whoo!
