A Little Catch Up

On October 19th little Miss Aubrielle said "GOODBYE" to her cast!  Goodbye baths in kitchen sink.  Goodbye press-n-seal & WalMart sacks.  Goodbye little pink weapon.  (She did manage to whack us all with it at least once.  And although we knew it was accidental, we did catch her choke holding Lily with it & we were pretty sure that was intentional!)  
She really was a trooper through the whole thing.  She only complained once that she didn't want it anymore & that statement came the last week she had to wear it.  She was put on restricted play for two weeks (no playgrounds, hanging, jumping off of objects, etc....) but that was up yesterday so she is back at it full swing!
I am trying not to be the token "Paranoid Mom"~ but thankfully the weather has turned colder so going to the playground isn't first on our list of things to do these days.  I do find myself saying, "Watch her arm" from time to time...but I think that is allowed.  After all, I am the Mom.
Here are some pictures from when we got home from getting her PINK accessory cut off.

All healed!

Guess who had to get in on the action!

The little grimace is coming from trying to straighten her arm.  It took almost 2 weeks to get full range of motion back.

 I am really thankful that it was only 4 weeks in a cast & that she did so well with it all.  She continues to teach me so much everyday!
