Cecilia was roller skating at a friend's home birthday party Thursday, tripped walking through the grass and broke her wrist. We took her home to ice it and give her medicine (not knowing if it was broken yet), and 30 minutes later she was begging to go back with her friends thinking maybe it wasn't too bad. So we wrapped it in an ace bandage and took her back. But after the x-ray and a phone call from the surgical department the next day, we discovered she is one tough and extremely socially motivated little girl! Her wrist bone was displaced and required a sedated procedure they called "surgery" at the hospital first thing Saturday morning! There was no actual cutting into her, they just had to move the bones back guided by a high resolution x-ray machine and then set it without the risk of them being displaced again. It stayed wrapped well, and we just got the cast on today!
