#4 Coming Right Up

Well get home tonight and momma gets Ember out of the car and guess what FALLS on the ground....

Thats right, time for cast number 4.

EDIT 10/27/08:
So we ended up going to an emergency room that night thinking it would be a simple re-cast. Turns out they do not do casts anymore. If someone went in with a broken bone they would splint it up and have them go to the orthopedic's the next day. So the nurses there tried for a while and finally got a hold of the Kaiser on-call doctor. Ended up that they wrapped and splinted her and we went to the Orthopedic office the next day.

We ended up seeing the nice Orthopedic tech and Embers Dr between his other appointments. After all that it was decided to go with a soft wrap since the casts were not staying on her.

After a long wait in the waiting room we got into a room before getting her splinted up. Notice the time. Would not have gone through all of this if we knew it would just be a wrap up and then go see the doc the next morning anyway.


Getting all wrapped up. Em even got some stickers and a glove balloon there from the nice nurse and techs.


The next morning... Embers doctor and the Orthopedic tech re-wrapping her hand in a soft wrap, cotton and coban wrap.




So after all of that, the soft wrap seems to be staying on better. On Sunday night momma and daddy ended up wrapping her arm again since it was slipping down a little. But it is staying on a bit better then the casts were.
