Sienna's Fractured Arm

Friday afternoon, Sienna "fell" off of Brayden's bed. At least, that is the story that I got. Sienna did cry after she fell, but she wasn't screaming and her arm appeared fine (I checked it over several times). Grandma & Grandpa Boley even came over to babysit so Chris and I could go out to dinner and she seemed fine while we were gone. This morning, she still didn't seem to be using her arm much and she had also developed a bruise in her armpit. After we took the kids to the dentist, I decided to take her to the doctor, just to make sure she was ok. The doctor decided to x-ray her arm, and low and behold, there was a fracture in her upper arm! Even the x-ray tech seemed surprised! Here she is decked out in her new sling (we still have to take her to an orthopedist this week):
Here is a picture I took of her x-ray. (click the x-ray to get a close-up of the fracture)

I'm guessing that the sling isn't going to last long...
All she wants to do is take it off, and she is supposed to wear it for 2-3 weeks!!!
