She was just pushing up on her arms and I heard a "snap". We headed down to Pinehurst to see our friend Dr. "Mary" who was working in the emergency department. We took some X-Rays and found out that she had a complete fracture of her right humerus (upper arm) that is slightly displaced. She was fine until we went to do the X-Rays and then when we made the splint. We have a splint from shoulder to wrist with her arm at a 90 degree bend. We have ace wrapped her arm to her body and she seems to be relatively comfortable.
We came home at 1:00 and all slept in our room. She slept until 6:30 this morning at which point I think her pain medicine had worn off and we are now up for the day.
We are still planning on flying to St. Louis and going through wth the surgery in Omaha. There is a chance Dr. Esposito will have to set or rod her arm as well. We will keep you posted.
Here are the x-rays from last night:
