I tripped over air molecules one time and cracked my elbow like that–I know *exactly* how bad that x-ray hurts (if you’re a grown-up, though, as soon as you get to the hospital, they say “sign this, please”, even though you broke the elbow on your writing hand.). That’s one tough cookie you’ve got:))

I’m thinking that I would have forced her to take the pain shot (because she really didn’t know how much pain the bone manipulations would be). It would not have occured to me to let my 5 year old refuse the drug (One of my children almost 5). However, I’m quite impressed that you allowed her to choose. She seems like a strong girl, and I’ll bet that THAT MEMORY will be one that she looks back on for strength. Oprah might call it a ‘defining moment’ .

Last Halloween, my 2yr. old daughter broke her elbow in 2 places and had to go through the x-rays, the splint for a week and then a hard cast for 4 weeks – I think it was more painful for me than for her!!! Thank goodness after 5 weeks total, she was back to new!!

Hope your daughter is doing well and feeling a bit better now!
