K and her cast

It's now been just over 4 weeks since K broke her arm. She continues to have weekly appointments with the orthopedic surgeon, and today was the day - we were there at 8 this morning. First they do an x-ray, through the cast. Then we see Dr. E. Today he showed us the x-ray again, and pointed out that her arm is shrinking (I guess due to muscle atrophy) and said they will perhaps have to do a cast change at some point so that it continues to fit and the bone stays in place. He said that when the break is near the elbow like hers is, sometimes the bones want to drift apart more than they should, but for now it's good. She'll likely have to have a cast another 2-4 weeks.
