Elbow Update

Noelle had an appointment with the orthopedist this afternoon. They took 2 more x-rays of her elbow, and the orthopedist could not see any fractures on the x-rays; however, he said that with elbow injuries in children, you pretty much consider it a fracture until you can prove otherwise. Her elbow is still swollen, and when he examined her she cried a lot, said her elbow hurt, and refused/couldn't do the movements he asked her to do. So, we are back in a splint wrapped in an ace bandage. We will see him again next Wednesday. If she seems like she is not in pain and doing well, then she won't have to wear anything. If she still can't do the movements and is in pain, she will likely have to wear a hard cast for 3 weeks.

So, you can pray that she will heal quickly and that we won't have to get a hard cast when we return next week. I'll keep you updated. Thank you for praying.
