Yesterday I was asking opinions about my DD’s shoot through. (Thanks everyone for all the feedback). Right now it’s the last thing on my mind.
Today my DD (7 years old) fractured her humerus above the elbow (supracondylar) at the gym (she’s still at the ER with my DW.) The doctor aligned the bones but did not perform surgery (pins). He said due to significant swelling it may be needed (when the swelling goes down the bone could slip) For the next 2-3 weeks we'll need to get periodic X-rays . They said the bone will heal in about 3 months but I think they want to take a wait-and-see attitude about when she can return to her normal activities.
I’m wondering if anyone else has been through this or a similar injury. Any insights regarding what we should expect over the next few weeks/months would really be appreciated (or any other thoughts) I'm also very happy to receive well wishes for my DD.
Thanks in advance!
