Hurt Wrist

On Wednesday while I was at work, Brian called and said that Amber had crashed her bike and that we needed to take her for x-rays. She had all the classic signs of a broken arm, so we left the kids at home with my niece, they picked me up, and we went to the doctor.

Because she couldn't turn her arm or grip things without a lot of sharp pain, the doctor was pretty sure that it was broken. So he sent her in for x-rays. When the x-rays came back and didn't show any breaks, and one of the pictures was not good, he called a radiologist to look at it immediately. He said that he couldn't see any signs of a break, so they decided to just splint it for now.
Here is a picture with the splint. She has to wear it for about a week, and then if it isn't feeling better, we have to go back for more x-rays.
This picture is also of her and her cousin Heather while I was at the studio practicing.
