Montana got her cast off today. She wanted to wear her sunglasses the whole time so that she wouldn't see how "disgusting" her arm looked. All the skin underneath was peeling off and it smelled pretty bad. So we washed it right there in the hospital room and the poor thing must have lost 4 or 5 layers of skin. The doc still wants her to wear a supportive brace for 3 weeks because the bone is very new & flexible at this point. She needs to keep it on for everything except bathing and sleeping.
Once we got home she couldn't wait to take a shower. Bathing with a bag over your arm for 6 weeks really isn't fun- so I don't blame her. It still has a bit of a curve to it- but I am so thankful that she didn't need surgery. She is a trooper!
Now that her arm is healed- her eye decided it needed some attention. She woke up today with a flaming red, swollen eye. It's not oozing so I know it will probably clear up by tomorrow or the next day. She is very suseptible to pink eye for some reason and catches it quite frequently (inherited from Grama Laura we think :-) So she ended up staying home from school.
We have the opportunity to go up to Primary's quite often with Tana's eye appointments and what not. I always come home thankful for my childrens health. There are so many family's struggling with various degrees of health. Although sometimes we worry about Montana's vision- in the scheme of things it is such a small struggle. We are so blessed!
