Macy's arm Part III

For anyone interested, here's the x-ray on Macy's arm that shows the break. I found a CD with her x-rays in with the actual copies. You can see the displacement and the break in her arm.

We went Friday morning to Children's. Long story short, no waterproof cast, and we go back in July to see if she'll need surgery. Everything is aligned right now, but they need to see if it shifts. It's fairly unstable, so she has a pretty tight cast to keep it stable. The cast goes up to almost her shoulder, as you can see, and she will get a shorter one end of July.




After our appointment Friday morning, we drove to south Missouri for some camping and canoeing with two other couples. We dropped the kids off at Bobby's sister's (thank you Kelly and Carmen for watching the hoodlums for the weekend!) and headed off to the campground.

Nice clean campground. We had a wonderful time camping, and the canoe trip was so much fun! Lots of extremely drunk people, but we avoided them. Met an interesting local character and his dog as he was trying to bum cigs and beer off us; too bad we didn't have any to share!

By our campsite was a bridge with some rapids. The three women decided to jump off the bridge. Well, I started to get a little nervous, and the next thing I knew one of the other women just pushed me off the bridge!! Then the 3rd woman pushed her, and jumped herself. We were laughing so hard that we ended up floating down the rapids, and smacking ourselves on a bunch of rocks. Good times, good times!!

Went back to Kelly and Carmen's Sunday morning, then will head to Branson Monday morning for a couple days. I'm sure I will have good stories from that trip.
