Not that kind of break!

Let's face it. We would love a break! But on Monday this week we got the wrong kind of break! Mckinley went over to play with one of our neighbors while I was out weeding and after a few minutes of weeding, Scooby broke out of our fence and ran over to the neighbors house where Mckinley was. Mckinley was crying and had been jumping on the trampoline. She said that she was trying to do a "trick" when she hurt her arm. I knew as soon as I got her home that it was broken because all she wanted to do was lie down and go to sleep. (This same thing happened when she broke her OTHER arm 2 years ago.) So we took her to Instacare and her x rays showed that she had a buckle fracture of her radius. Basically a broken wrist. We brought her home with a temporary splint on and she got a hard cast on Wednesday. Just in time for her last day of school and just in time to infringe on the summer swimming lessons we had planned.
She is doing great now. She doesn't seem to be in any pain. The hardest part for her right now is understanding the fact that she has to keep the cast on for 4 weeks. (She could wiggle out of her cast from the first break and she always got to have it off for her bath. She still remembers that!) It's not changing her plans though. She ran through the sprinklers yesterday with a bag over her cast.

We love you Mckinley! Sorry about your "special" arm!
