As you will all remember, Audrey broke her arm in January. She got her cast off on March 19th and was told to wear a brace for a month. Her arm wasn't perfect, but it was "good enough". (I'm sure you've heard a little saying about hindsight.)
On April 10th Audrey left the house without her brace and tripped over her bike re breaking both bones in her arm. Giant sigh... The first picture is the new break on the left with the first break on the right. They set it as best as they could, put it in a hard splint and scheduled for us to come back in a week to have it operated on. (or so we thought.)
On April 18th we went for a consult and the attending orthopedic surgeon said he would try to set it and if he couldn't, he'd operate. He ended up casting, and we still aren't sure if it was the right choice. She had a cast up to her armpit and it still hasn't healed up great. (Writing from mid June of course)
