Tough cookie

On Tuesday last week Oma picked up Eloïse from gymnastics as she usually does.

Ellie was on the floor, practicing her splits, and when done went to greet Oma. She was holding her arm and behaving quite quietly. Told Oma she fell off the high beam, cried a bit, got an ice pack from the coach, and that was that.

Eloïse was still in pain after dinner so we took her to Starship. One x-ray, two books, three doctors and nurses and four hours later, the verdict fell. A fractured elbow. No gymnastics or swimming for 6 weeks. But it's all good, she weaseled her way into being offered an ice block and got a sling and plaster cast her friends could draw on.
