My 20 month old had a fall about one month ago and broke her arm, it was a bad break (about 30 degree angle) at the time they said they would leave it to heal and let the bend grow out over time as she has a lot of growing to do. However we were to the hospital for a new cast 4 times as they weren't staying on and were sliding down. Every time we have been they have to take 2 x Ray's and knew a couple weeks ago it had moved to a bad position but decided to leave it anyway and assured me it should be fine.
We had our appointment yesterday to get the cast off and had new x Ray's, but the break had moved even more and they said she will lose mobility if they leave it, so will need to see the consultant next week as they will need to operate and re break it. So now we don't have a cast on as its set, but her movement is poor.
I'm so upset about this as she is petrified of the hospital/staff/strangers/people in general, and now we are back to square one! I have to hold her down for the staff to do anything with her as she is screaming and won't keep still, it's just full blown melt downs. She has had 15 x Ray's in total and will need who knows how many more. I'm angry that they could have done this right at the start and avoided all the stress for her, and the x Ray ex posture. I came out crying yesterday and don't know how I'm going to do it all again.
