Anna's Newest Accessory

Annabelle's newest accessory is purple, will most likely be very expensive, was custom made for her, draws lots of attention and limits her wardrobe to tops with large armholes!
Annabelle broke her arm Saturday evening while we were visiting with grandparents here in Utah. She barely fussed after she fell off of an exercise machine so I was surprised when Mike said that he thought she had broken her arm and without even asking for a second opinion was strapping her into her car seat.
As it turns out Mike was right and her arm was a little crooked! The entire car ride and almost throughout the hospital visit Annabelle never cried about her arm - but doctors and nurses sure made her furious!

Her ulna and radius are both broken in what is called a 'green stem fracture' which means that her bones bent and must had to be bent back (she was out for that part) and are now in a splint - or as she told everyone at church a "spleent". Later this week she'll get a cast on.

She seems to be adjusting well and has still been using her left arm. If you ask her about pain she'll either ignore you or tell you that it only hurt a little bit. She is still just as independent as ever - she insisted on putting on her own sandals this morning and pulled up her own pajama pants for bed this evening. She has been fairly patient with me trying to get shirts off and on and making her wear a bag over her arm at times.
