Hailey's Second Broken Arm

Our poor Hailey fell off a friend's trampoline this week, breaking her humerus and dislocating her elbow. She was so brave, and has been handling it so well. She had to have surgery to put 2 pins in the fracture and has a cast for 4 weeks. Luckily, the surgery went better than expected and the doctor did not have to make an incision because the fracture lined back up perfectly at the joint. We are so grateful for everyone's prayers and support this week. It has truly made a big difference. Hopefully she doesn't keep up the trend of breaking a bone every 2 years, and this is her last one.
Waiting in the ER... a total of 6.5 hours before they did surgery. Then we had to stay overnight and we got home about 10am the next day.

Alex was able to go back with her in the beginning until she was asleep. Thankfully they put her out with gas before inserting the IV. The surgery only took about 45 minutes.

As requested, a pink and purple striped cast.
