It turns out, Lila broke not only her radius, but also her ulna. Both breaks are in the same spot on her left arm/wrist, and both are "buckled" fractures - which means the bone kind of buckled or bulged out on the opposite side of the break.
That Lila, she doesn't like to do anything halfway! Always a real go-getter, my girl is!
Purple was the winning color, and she was very brave. The Dr. even asked about her pain tolerance because she didn't flinch through the whole exam! She's been tired and not had a huge appetite since it happened - I was told both are normal. Her whole little body is working hard to heal itself. The worst part will be when it warms up this weekend, and I have to tell her she can't swim for four weeks! :( We haven't broached that topic yet.
