Mika's Elbow

Tuesday the kids were playing outside with the hose. We have a brick wall that goes along the driveway, it starts at 1 foot and goes up to about 4 ft. Mika was on the brick wall and slipped off, unfortunately at the 4ft level. She fell on her elbow. 
This is the first day of swelling. We gave her advil and iced it. The next day the swelling moved to the back of her arm and about 2x's larger, so I called her Dr. They had me take her to a outpatient X ray place, then made an appt for the next morning.

Turns out she fractured her elbow. They made her a temporary cast, a splint and then covered it with a camo wrap. She was pretty happy about how it looked and she said her elbow didn't hurt her anymore. I'm taking her to a pediatric orthopedic to put a full cast on Wednesday.

Poor girl! I hope that she heals quickly. We love that cast/smile picture. What a cute smile!
