Yup, that would indeed be a broken arm.
Irina took a tumble from the ladder going up to a tree house yesterday. Actually, she made it up the ladder just fine; it was coming back down that she lost her footing. Did a perfect five foot somersault she did, right down to the ground. I know, because I saw the whole thing happen from no more than 10 feet away. You know, that 10 feet of space that will never let you stop something bad from happening to your child, no matter how fast you run. (Can we say: "Mommy Guilt"?)
What she's wearing now is just a splint. On thursday she'll get the full fledged cast, which she'll wear for three or four weeks. Did you know that they do them in designer colors now? Irina's trying to decide between purple, blue and pink. My poor, sweet kiddo. :(
