If it ain't broke...

Well it is.... Belle broke her arm in April during gymnastics class. She was doing a cartwheel off the balance beam and fell on her left arm. She cried only a little and continued with the class after a quick ice pack. There was no obvious indication that she had broken her arm and we thought she was just fine. But she kept complaining about it that evening and even took Tylenol (gasp!). She despises medicine so much, that I knew something was wrong. We saw her pediatrician in the morning and they said she had a buckle fracture near the growth plate and wanted her to see an pediatric orthopedic physician that day. After another doctor visit, she is comfortably in a sling for the next four weeks. Little does she know that we've been planning a beach/Disney trip for the past year! Ugh. But she should be able to enjoy most of the rides with no problems and we are lucky she does not need a cast because she would not be able to go to the beach with it. Silver linings!

She was all smiles and ready to show her friends at school the next day!
