Colleen got her cast off yesterday, the third in four months. (Although to be fair, there were two different ones for the first break.) She is officially half-way through the rainbow of cast colors the doctor’s office offers. The doctor explained (again) that it takes 6-9 months for the bone to completely heal, so Colleen still needs to steer clear of high-risk activities like scooters, trampolines, monkey bars, etc. “But since Colleen broke it both times falling in the grass…. well, good luck!”

Did I mention that it is the fifth week of school and Colleen has already had three trips to the nurse’s office? (Two for head bumps that needed ice, once for tripping and landing on her cast. Yeah, that one worries me a little.)

Is it possible to duct tape her arm back into the cast when she plays outside? May be worth a try.
