To Mother with 4 yr. old with broken arm. My granddaughter broke her left arm when she was about 4-1/2 below the elbow and she broke both bones. When all was said and done, she has some movement problems and a knot on the outside of her arm. To make a long story short 5 days ago she was practicing basketball and fell and now has broken 1 of the bones again, she's 8 now. The doctor at the emergency room was concerned about the x-ray, because it looks like her bone is now "s" shaped. Unfortunately the only doctor who could see her on Friday was the same doctor from the 1st time. He recasted her arm and says all will be alright, my daughter is so upset, she is trying to get her in somewhere for a 2nd opinion and has tryed all day and no one will see her because she already has a cast on. We're not sure where to turn to now. So please if you are worried, try to get his arm looked at again. We voiced our worries, all through the 1st break and could not get anywhere. If you know anything that would help us, sure would appreicate it.
