Our first medical trauma. Friday night, seemingly without any cause Cordelia started crying and holding her wrist. When she still seemed to be in real pain after dinner and a snuggle with mama we figured that she was probably hurt badly enough to warrant a trip to the urgent care. We took her and they thought it was probably a fractured wrist! Well, we have been keeping it in this splint and icing it often. She has had some bad swelling and pain but now, two weeks later, it is beginning to seem comfortable again. Her pediatrician said that he cannot confirm an actual fracture, which is good news I suppose but now we are just playing it by ear and trying to encourage her to go easy on it. Here is a picture of her napping (the only time lately she can hold still) with her splint.
