Not Exactly an Award...

...but it could be considered a trophy.

I took Norah for her follow-up appointment on Monday after having her "temporary" splint on for a whole week. Ugh!

The doctor still wasn't sure that he could see any growth plate damage, but he decided to put her in a cast for two weeks just to be safe. He said that he could put her in a plastic wrist guard but that kids her age tend to get uncomfortable and take off the guard.

The good news is that it's a short cast. She can bend her elbow, which makes getting dressed much easier. The other good news is that the cast is water proof, so she can take baths and go swimming. The final good news is that she only has to wear it for two weeks.

All in all, it's a pretty low-pain injury with a huge story telling upside. Just the way it should be.
