My Harlie Bug Broke Her Elbow

Harlie was such a BIG girl today. She was at the Dr.'s and Orthopedic specialist from 2 o'clock until 6:30 last night. She was such a trooper and really brave with all these Dr.'s she didn't even know. I am so proud of her, I love you my Harlie Bug.

After she many hard x-ray's Harlie finally got her soft cast on til she has her surgery. She was so Big even though it was sooooo painful.

Her Bunny was there to help her through the day. She never left it once. Her Bunny can help her get through anything. 

Sitting with her NaNa...She loves her NaNa sooooo much. It was really nice to have her there, Cause Harlie really wanted her to come be with her.

She is sooo sweet, trying to smile after her very long exhausting day. She was ready for her french fries and root beer that NaNa promised her if she could be so Big and Brave.

The fianl touches before we left to go home. She was really done at that point and wanted her Grampa.

So here is Harlie's break, So it doesn't look too bad from this angel but Harie broke her elbow as you can see, also the fracture goes through the cartilage and into her growth plate. She will need a very extensive surgery to fix her elbow. They are going to try and re-align the bones from the outside with x-ray's and if they can't then they will make an incision and cut the arm open and align the bones from the inside. They would really perfer to put screws in to hold it in place but can't because the fracture goes through her growth plate, so doing so would stop her arm from growing corretly. They will pin it, cast it and in 4 weeks they will take them out and go from there. If they need to re-pin and cast it again until it is in the correct place. So hopefully everything will go well in Surgery today. I will keep you posted. I LOVE you my Harlie Bug! :)
