I just realized that I never blogged about how the cast came into our lives. The short story is that Kate and Liz had a minor run in on the stairs. Kate didn't even lose her balance and it appeared that Liz gently rolled down 3-4 stairs. But, 20 minutes after the incident, she was still crying. Then, we noticed she couldn't use her right arm to support herself to push up to standing. We went to the ER. Two hours and four x-rays later, we were told that Liz had a buckle fracture. Her arm wasn't technically broken, it was just bent. Life with a cast was a challenge. We had to cover it when she ate and when she bathed. Liz was a good sport about the whole thing. Honestly, I don't think it ever bothered her.
The cast is gone! Good riddance!! I can't really say that Liz is back to her old self, because really it didn't slow her down at all. Her arm is a bit scaly and dry, which was easily fixed with a bath and lotion. Even though she wasn't bothered, I am so thankful to have her healthy and whole again.
