Who would have thought that Liberty would be our first child to get a cast. She was standing on Hallister's desk in the playroom, like they have been doing, to wave goodbye to Jonathan through the window. Well she slipped and fell just right on her arm. Poor baby. She cried pretty good right away, but then stopped and just held her arm. She kept holding it so I knew it was not a good sign and rushed over to the doctor. They did x-rays and found that she fractured it. Thankfully it was not a full break and we got a soft cast. The doctor was impressed, the only time she cried was during the x-rays. The rest of time she just held onto me or her arm.
It was a rough month of being careful at bath time not getting her cast wet. I am thankful though that it was not during the summer because then it would have been hot, sweaty and smelly.
I jokingly said I was going to invent clothes called Cast Away because she only had a few long sleeve shirts she could wear that would stretch over her cast.
When we had it taken off the doctor said it healed with slight curvature but that it would straighten out on its own. The body is truly an amazing creation. We were glad to get that thing off and I hope we never have to go through that again!
