Update on Hannah

~An update on Hannah~
 
Dh took her to our family dr. yesterday on his lunch and the dr. wants to put another cast on next week. A lighter fibreglass one because he says when they are young they tend to lose a lot of muscle tissue fast and her arm will shrink and the cast will become too loose.
 
I'm not big on the idea of them having to take the cast off and go through putting another one on. That was the only point of discomfort she had last time was when the cast was setting and her arm starting getting hot. I also remember when Cody had his cast changed after a couple weeks of a broken ankle and it was painful when they started tugging and pulling at the cast. I hope all goes well.
 
Dr. also said she broke it in two places
 
She can tell us just who's name is where and she is having fun making her own little scribblings all over it Also, it was her right wrist that was broken and of course she is right handed or should I say was right-handed because she is doing very well using her left hand to do everything now, even feeding herself really well with it already! Mike and Colton are both left-handed and we may just have 3 in the family by the time her cast comes off
 

About the only thing she is having trouble with is her independence. A very big deal for a 3 (almost, lol) year old! The first time I went to get her jammies on her she said 'No, I can do it myself' and then found much to her chagrin that she couldn't. She almost has the undie thing mastered, as in pulling them up and down when she has gone to the bathroom, lol!
