Casty Cast

This morning we went to see the doctor, and he said Paige didn't need surgery. Apparently he never thought she needed it, the ER nurses just wanted us to be prepared either way, but they ended up making it sound like she more than likely needed it. We were very relieved to find out she didn't.
Paige was SOOOOO good. Not her friendliest, she was tired-we woke her up earlier than she wanted. So she didn't give away too many smiles, just a few when they made jokes about how she was doing so well she must be a doctor. But she was quiet and held really still, except to help him lift her arm a few times. He told her "I think you might be my best patient EVER." Jess and I kind of laughed, but then he looked at us and said "SERIOUSLY. Usually they're screaming and trying to get away." We were really proud of her, again.

She didn't get to pick her color, but she seemed perfectly happy to have a cream colored cast. She wouldn't let us write on it at first, either.
She still doesn't want anybody signing it, but she let me draw a little rainbow, which she helped with. Then Tyra got to add a heart, and then a sun on her elbow. She drew some little rainbow sprinkle looking marks near her fingers herself. So far that's all, but I have a feeling it'll slowly fill up with more doodles. We said a thank you prayer to God, that she didn't need surgery, we're all very happy about that.
And hopefully in just 3 weeks she'll get it off!
