Elsie part 2
Well this morning we took Elsie to the doctor. Despite Elsie's nerves and our expectations for the worse, things went well. The doctor saw no need to align her broken bones. HE said the were only off by about 20 degrees and that God had designed our bodies as children to mend and align themselves over time. So wether he set the bones or not in six months an x-ray of Elsie's arm would look exactly the same. Sounded good to me. I am sure the doctor was thankful too.
He opted to give her a splint for 3 weeks and then a hard cast for 3 weeks. Saying the splint would accommodate swelling much better. While splinting Elsie she freaked and started kicking her legs and almost kicked the doctor in the head. Needless to say I held her down till the ordeal was over.
Now that the splint is in place she is much happier.
