This is not the kind of picture of one's cute granddaughter one expects to post. However - it happened. She was at a birthday party at Jump House. She and a friend had been leaping from a high platform when they decided to go off backwards. He fell on her and ~ here is her elbow.
She and her mom were transported by ambulance to a children's hospital in San Diego where the following morning early, they reset the bone. Here's what is amazing. Although it was surgery and she was under anesthetic, there was no incision. The bone was reset by laser, getting it exactly where it needed to be. Then pins (long skewers) were placed into the bones to hold them together. To remove them four weeks from now, the parents will distract her and the doctor will simply pull them out. Wow - no cutting, no scarring, and young bones growing together.
So here is our one-handed weaver!!
Although still in pain occasionally she is adapting to being one handed and figuring out what she can do for herself and patiently waiting for Mama Susan to finish this blog and come back to help with what needs two hands.
