On the first day of Spring Break...

Autumn wound up with an impact fracture right smack in the growth plate area of her left wrist. The Ortho doc confirmed it to be a Salter-Harris 2 that involves the distal radius and scaphoid bones. This is the half-cast that the wonderful Ortho tech did - super late last night. Tuesday afternoon she will get her pink arm cast.



The cause you ask? After several runs down the zip-line that was set up at the mountainous, Korean park - she fell off from about 5-6 feet from the stop/end of the line. She fell to the ground, with forward momentum (feet in front) on her tush/lower back and her left hand outstretched.

We are thankful that her injury was not worse. Her neck, head and back checked out perfectly fine. I must say how wonderful Autumn was at the ER and how well she is dealing with it all. She is looking forward to her HOT PINK cast in a few days.
