First broken bone

Unfortunately, it appears that Belle is going to take after her Daddy and be accident-prone. Not yet three, Belle has already suffered her first broken bone. Again following in her Daddy's first steps, Daredevil Belle leaned too far over the side of her bed and toppled over, bumping her head and hurting her wrist. On first inspection, she seemed fine. Later in the evening after the motrin wore off (which we're giving her because she has RSV), her wrist started to her. She cried out in pain during bathtime; her thumb area turned purple. So we made a trip to HealthPlus. Of course, by the time we reached HealthPlus she was acting fine so I thought maybe it is just stoved, but X-rays revealed a small fracture in her right wrist. It's not big; not near a growth plate so it should heal fine. For now, she is wearing a splint. We see a orthopedic doctor tomorrow. She will have to wear either a brace or cast for about a month just to stablize the area so it can heal.

She charmed the pants off all the nurses during our visit. The nurse who treated her really helped me out by telling Belle how pretty she looked in her new armband. Belle smiled and said yeah! When we left she told the nurse, I feel all better! She didn't even throw a fit about wearing her new armband to bed.
