Eli's Purple Cast


Dancing to Hannah Montana in the playroom with Nathan, Elie fell down backwards and fractured her arm just above the elbow. We loaded her in a bundle of blankets into the cab and whisked her off to A&E (Accident & Emergency). The doctors were kind and took her X-rays while she sniffled, and around midnight she finally left with a brand new purple cast. Three weeks without swimming. What in the world would we do? Her teacher reported that her popularity grew.
Attached are pictures of Dr. Kok-Poh taking off the cast. He was incredible, brilliantly convincing her to let him run that huge saw up and down her arm, creating a cloud of fiberglass dust all over the two of them.
