Chance and Gigi were playing with some friends riding scooters. Gigi was doing tricks on her scooter but fell off and broke her arm.
It was swelling and painful so we set off to the hospital. We were the third broken bone to check in within 10 minutes and there ended up being 5 total and all of them were children. They checked her arm then gave her liquid morphine. The X-ray showed a fracture and it needed to be reset.
The doctor then squirted some sort of liquid drug up her nose (I forgot the name ) and also gave her nitrous oxide.
The resetting of the bone was clearly painful but she got through it like a champion. All the doctors and nurses kept complimenting her amazing composure every step of the way.
They were all super amazing and Gigi actually enjoyed the evening.
She got to ride on a hospital bed to X-ray. She pointed out that was a first. And she got to ride in a wheelchair, another first. And got her first cast.
Plus, she got an ice block and sticker for being a super cool patient.
Once her bone was reset, she was given a plaster cast and X-rayed again to make sure the bone was in place. It looked great. She will get a fiberglass cast on January 4. Hopefully, bright pink.
We tried to document everything in snapshots.
