Ooops, she did it again!

Almost 3 years to the day, Samantha broke her arm.  This time it was her other arm.  It happened at school and I got a call from the school nurse that Samantha had fallen at recess and her arm was bad enough that I should come get her and have it checked out.  Sure enough, she fractured her elbow.  The orthopedist described it as significant.  After getting xrays at Fair Oaks Hospital emergency room, we went the next day to the specialist and had them put a cast on her.  For 4 to 6 weeks she will have this cast.  Ugh!  Just as the pool was opening for the Summer.  So. Not. Fun.

Samantha said it happened when she was doing a handstand on the playground.  I am sure she is not going to try that again.  We are all hoping that her arm heals closer to 4 weeks than 6.  A one-armed Samantha is not a happy Samantha.
