Ella wanted to ride her scooter around the block one time. A few minutes later she came screaming around the corner, holding her arm, no scooter in sight. Dad, having had many broken bones in his day, knew her arm was broken. The ER said she broke one bone, they put her in a sling and said go find a dr to help in 5 days. The Orthopedic dr that saw Ella diagnosed her with 2 broken bones; ulna and radius. 1st cast was light blue with sparkles and above the elbow. A week later Ella got a super bright yellow cast (with sparkles of course) below the elbow. In 2 weeks she will get a mobile cast that she can take off. It is healing perfectly and she has not had any pain other than when the dr had to twist and push her wrist to set it correctly.
She has learned to write and eat and do everything with her left hand!

#4- Our home away from home (Newton Dam). It's only June and the water is too low to get our boat in. This is the most Newton action we are going to get this year :(
