Big Green Bandaid

On June 9th I took Madison to the Doctors for her follow up visit for her leg. When we got there we took off the splint and of course she screamed through that because she didn't want the big bandaid taken off and because her knee hurt. Then the doctor looked at her knee and decided to take some x-rays, or pictures as Madi calls them, to see how bad the break was. They took two x-rays and the doctor said it was definitely broken so they needed to put a cast on it. He said it was a buckle fracture. She has to have the cast on for five weeks so she will get it off on July 14. It took a long time for Madi to decide what color she wanted but then finally decided on a green one. She calls it the "big green bandaid." She has learned how to walk on it and can even go up and down the stairs which makes things a little easier. Here are a couple of pictures:
