Mommy says, "I got a call from Dr. Miller shortly before 9:00 this morning saying Lillian had a 10:30 appointment at
Shoreline Orthopaedic, which is thankfully only a few miles from our house. I suited up Lillian and we made our way there."
"We had to wait for quite a while in the waiting room but Lillian decided it was her job to entertain the elderly audience there. Later she found ways to keep busy as we waited in the exam room."
"At about 11:30 we met with Dr. Dean. He confirmed that Lillian has a fractured
radius but reassured us that at her age injuries tend to heal quickly. He indicated that she would need to wear a cast for about 3 weeks. He went on to explain that children Lillian's age have a tendency to wriggle out of their casts and, therefore, she would have to have a full cast up past her elbow. Thankfully we were able to get a waterproof cast, which means she can take normal baths for the next 3 weeks. Lillian was again a very good girl and sat quite still while the cast technician wrapped her arm in a very stylish hot pink cast. "
"Although Lillian has only had the cast for a few hours she has already discovered some of its advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantage #1: It is decidedly difficult to carry both baby dolls when one of your arms is in a cast. Disadvantage #2: It is also a bit more messy to eat when you only have one hand to work it. Advantage #1: Banging your cast on the kitchen table makes a really neat sound. We're hoping it takes a while before she discovers Advantage #2: A cast is a built-in weapon."
"Thanks for reading our story on our little Lillian. Her daddy has never broken a bone, so she has already surpassed him in that regard. We'll continue to keep you updated and welcome your prayers for her full recovery. We are very grateful for the spunk and good attitude she has had so far. I'm sure we'll have more stories to share!"
