poor poor mally

poor mally broke her arm.
she was jumping on the blow up mattress and brett was playing with her.
brett took mally's legs out from under her and she fell on her left arm.
brett said he heard it snap!
OUCH!
mallory was in alot of pain and couldn't/wouldn't move her arm,
so we bundled her up and i took her to the emergency room.
on the way there, i calmed down and thought about the situation.
i called my sister, wendy and she helped me remember
the emergency room won't do anything but tell me it's broken and charge me $1000!
we turned around, went home, druged mallory up and went to "sleep".
i took her to the doctor first thing in the morning.
the ulna was broken and the radius was dislocated.
they had to put her to sleep to get the bone back in place and cast her arm.
yikes.  it was scary for mallory and me!

look at this face!  she has a dislocated and broken arm and hasn't eaten in hours! 

watching a movie before she went in for the "surgery".

 

after!

pink cast and all.

she did amazing.  the staff of the surgery center couldn't believe how brave she was.  she didn't cry or anything when they took her away!  neither did i, until she turned the corner and couldn't see me anymore.  then i lost it.  she woke up out of the anesthesia just great too.  the nurses said she was the best 3 year old they had ever had!

she has to wear the cast for 4 1/2 weeks.

  we are thankful it could be fixed and she is ok.
