Gabby was practicing the monkey bars at the playground early this morning. She said that she was practicing so long and hard that her hands got sweaty and she slipped. She didn't land on her feet. She landed on her arm. She jumped up and said, "I'm ok", but she wasn't. It looked like she had a second elbow between her left wrist and elbow. Dave drove her to the ER. I met them over there. She had x-rays. She had two breaks. One break in each of the bones in her lower left arm. She was sedated so that the doctors could set her bones. They gave her a temporary cast until she sees the orthopedic doctor on Monday. We are really hoping that it doesn't have to be set again! She was so brave the whole time.
This first video was taken minutes before the accident.....
