I feel like your name is horribly ironic at this point.

Thanks a lot guys. It was her left arm; so, she can still write, color, paint, etc. She really is taking it very well, and we have an appointment with a local osteopath tomorrow morning to make sure everything is coming along well. (It is also amazing to me how quickly the little ones heal...from what I have read, there will be little to no evidence that the bones were ever broken at all!)

Oh and nice job with the Metal Slug Advance... I still can't get through it - dat final boss.
Yeah. Like most small children she prides herself on being "big" and "tough", and she certainly earned both of those titles this weekend.

(Also - and in typical Metal Slug/SNK fashion - I spent as much time on the final boss in Metal Slug Advance as I did on the rest of the game combined.)

Fixed.

It would interesting to see how many Racketeers can tie their shoelaces with one hand.

Thanks for that. I think I should have written "with a big-ass cast that her little shoulder muscles can't lift more than a few inches." Seriously...if she wants to move it on or off her ice pack, she has to lift it with her other arm. :?

:) Managed to get a day off tomorrow.

:? My school lets way too many random people into the building. They will seemingly give visitors passes to anyone and everyone. Makes me nervous/paranoid.

Yeah, that's the down side of being friendly and welcoming. You hear about some awful thing and think "that couldn't possibly happen here"...until it does.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

That's not all that surprising. She's got years of growing ahead of her. After all that time, I'd be more surprised 10 years from now if an x-ray showed much more than just a little nick where the break occurred.

Glad to hear she'd taking it so well. And you too, for that matter. I probably would have panicked and began plans for an extensive calcium supplement regimen until she turned 18.
