A Tough Break

Chesney took a spill on her bike last week which ended up in a broken arm.  She was riding her bike down the side walk and swerved to go around Brecken when she fell and landed on her hands.  She barely cried but was more concerned that she skinned up her palm.  She didn't complain for the next couple days until she went down the slide on Sunday and whimpered saying her wrist hurt. She played with her cousins the reminder of the day on Sunday without a complaint.  I took her to work with me on Monday morning for x-rays that confirmed buckle fracture.   
 A few hours later she was at the orthopedists office for a cast.  He ended up doing a full arm cast because he was concerned she would take a short arm cast off.  She got to pick the color, and there was really no doubt that she would pick pink.
 The doctor and PA were so nice.  And Chesney loved that the PA had the same name as a princess, Tianna.
 
Chesney has been such a trooper through all of this.  No one would have guessed she fractured her arm aside from the slight deformity I could feel in her wrist and the tenderness at that area.  Thankfully she is on her way to healing now. 
And the cast hasn't stopped her from riding her bike, although she has had to go back to riding with training wheels until the cast is off.
