Bedside manner of a physician is KEY! We have such a good specialist working on Olivia's arm. He takes his time, he does weekly xrays to ensure her bone growth is correct, he is well respected AND he is good with the rest of us! I love that! Olivia's first cast came off this week for a new and improved shorter one. Bummer that we have to keep it on for 4 more weeks. She is fine with it, except for the soccer thing. Avery said to Olivia, " I am so sorry you have to wear it for 4 more weeks, Olivia. " The doctor thought it would be cool to saw it off in a nice clean way so that he could reattach it to AVERY!! She was so pumped to have a "gimp arm" like her sister and so she could empathize all the more. I got all kinds of looks when I went into Barnes and Noble with 2 kids with each a "broken" arm. "Where you in a car accident?" or my favorite " Does your family drink enough milk?" Good stuff! I wish I would have had a cast on too! Avery's was obviously removeable and it stayed on most of the day and then she decided to have a fun bath instead of wrapping it up like her sister has to! I am sure we will be keeping the new cast once it comes off too so that we can all just shock people any ol time we feel like it! Anyway, cool docs are not easy to find but total keepers when ya do! Especially with kiddos! Hmmm...I haven't received the bill yet though! Yikes!
