cast

Our poor sweet baby girl had to get a cast on today, and she did absolutely amazing. Sabrina took a little tumble and despite the fact that she fractured two bones right below her elbow, this little girl has been full of laughs and smiles and trying her hardest to move to be where she wants to be.

She definitely isn't letting this cast get in her way.

When we first took her in to the urgent care and had her x-rays done to determine if she broke or fractured her arm, they placed her in this temporary sling to help the arm heal. We had to wait till today to get her in to a pediatric ortho to place her arm in a cast.  I am so grateful for that, the splint was just too bothering for her and kept slipping down.

This girl is still full of smiles, even though she has this hard and uncomfortable purple thing on her arm. Most of the time she doesn't even notice it there.

And she is still determined to crawl and move and get to where she wants to be. She doesn't want to miss out on any of the fun and excitement, no matter where it is.

Besides... it makes for a very useful bottle holder.


Sabrina is our little trooper. She has been absolutely amazing and so easy going with all of this. I think I am more of a wreck than anyone. I am just so thankful for all of the great support we were given and the amazing doctors who just helped us with this new and scary process. We have been blessed for sure.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend! May it be fun and worry free!!
