Subject: Samantha update ... broken arm
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 23:49:39 -0500


Samantha fell off of her scooter this evening and broke her arm. They
put a temporary cast on at the emergency room. We will have to wait for
the swelling to go down and then go in to an orthapedic doctor to have a
permanent cast put on. The doctor said it was a green line fracture (I
don't know what that means) which should heal without any problems or
complications and that she should have her cast off by the time school
starts. Unfortunately, the emergency room doctor said no gymnastics for
at least two months. Hmmm, I wonder about fall soccer.

FYI ... it was a green stick fracture not a green line (whoops!)
and that means that it didn't break all the way through the bone
