Aubrey's Arm

So I was taking a nap yesterday when I heard a thud followed by crying. I lept as fast as I could off the couch and in the girls' room to find Aubrey on the floor. As soon as I saw her arm, I knew it was broken. I frantically made a couple of phone calls and off we zoomed (literally 70 mph in a 45 mph zone) the 15 minutes to town. I figured if I was pulled over they could escort me to the hospital! =)

Aubrey was SUCH a good girl. She ended up with both bones in her forearm broken. Overall, they set her arm 3 times and she had 4 rounds of xrays. She only cried when they were moving the bone in her arm. She was so hungry since she hadn't eaten since 11 am and we didn't get to leave until 9 pm. But she got her "Old McDonald's" and was happy as can be. Might've been some of the meds they gave her! =)

Here's her arm before they set it (sorry it's kinda gross):

She was all smiles even though I am sure it hurt!

This is when she was sedated:

And here's when we're almost ready to go home at last!

And here are a couple of her first xrays:

She only complains a little of it hurting. She has been a real trooper through it all. Monday we go get the permanent cast put on. She has a request in for pink!
