A Tale of Two Casts

On April 8, 2012 (Easter Sunday!), Addie broke her arm.  After an Easter lunch and an Easter egg hunt at Grandma's and Papa's house, she was playing on the deck and fell.  Mike and I rushed her to the emergency department and she had broken both bones in her forearm just above her wrist.  We were lucky that it didn't affect her growth plates and didn't require surgery.  Addie was brave and did great.  The doctors, nurses, and techs were so nice to her.  Later she said, "That was kinda fun!"  A few days later, after the swelling had gone down, she got her first cast- a pink glittery one!  Then, four weeks later she got a short arm cast.  It's purple and glittery!  If all goes well, she'll get her cast off next week, just in time for summer fun!  Addie has been so good and the cast hasn't slowed her down one bit.  One time she even said, "I'm used to my cast!"
