On Tuesday we went to the orthopedic specialist to get her "official" cast. They didn't have red with pink hearts, so she settled for hot pink. Of course that was after I told her she couldn't have the fluorescent lime green. I know...I know...I should let her get whatever she wants, but seriously lime green doesn't match anything she owns. She did excellent while getting her cast on. I could tell it hurt pretty bad when the doctor was squeezing her pliable cast to set the bone back in place, but she was a trooper!! 
When she got to school of course her whole class had to sign her cast. Unfortunatley, they didn't sign it with a permenant marker so most of their signatures have either rubbed away or been replaced by those of us smart enough to sign with a sharpie. I think that is the official marker of cast signing. Even though she is loving all the attention having a cast brings, she is finding that there are some not so great things about having a cast. She can't ride her bike, it's harder to write, she can't play in the sand box or dig for worms, most of her shirts won't fit over the cast (this is more me complaining than her)& you can't take a bath & splash around in the water. Today she counted & there are only 34 more days until she gets her cast off. That's right, the poor little girl is already counting down!!

What a trooper, sorry to hear there is no cast with hearts. Hope the next 34 days go quickly for her.
okay, delete that nbalike comment, who is that??
Anyway, best wishes to Abby. I suppose it's a rite of passage in childhood. Maybe the weather will warm up and you can dress her easier in tank tops (just cut the straps and tie them). Good luck! Are you guys traveling West this summer?
SIGN IT FOR ME!!! Here I'll even tell you what to write..."Abby, You're the toughest!! Love, Sean, Katie and Nash"
Tell Abby she has a weapon of mass destruction on her arm. No one better mess with her while she's weilding that giant, hot pink, cast of self defense!
I'm curious as to who removed that comment....Are there paid blog administrative stalkers that patrol our harmless blog comments? Hmmm.......
so sorry Abby. Brodey really feels your pain. I LOVE the hot pink....it is Far better then the hearts!!! Talk to you all soon!
Abby I'm so sorry about your arm. You are so tough!! I love the pink cast though it looks great.
Abby,we totally would sign your cast if you were here. Enjoy all of the attention while you get it, use it to the fullest. Best of luck in the weeks to come until you get your cast off. We love you!
The pink cast is awesome! I'm just waiting for the day we get our first cast in our household. I think it might be Ethan, since he's taken to climbing on our shed and jumping up and down.
