Our "cast"-away

Poor Kilah. On her birthday, of all days, she was opening her window, and the heavy window came falling down and hit her on her forearm. Ouch! We didn't notice any break, so we hoped it would heal on its own. After a couple of days the pain was still really strong so Shannon got a friend who spoke Portuguese to take Kilah to the doctor. They did an x-ray and the doctor said, "I think she has a hairline fracture. Better put it in a cast." Of course, the big joke here is that they always put you in a cast whenever you hurt yourself. We see kids in casts almost every day at school. It's their remedy for almost everything.

Of course, you would think that Kilah would be upset, right? Oh no, she is the first in our family to have broken a bone. It was a proud moment for her, and obviously, she wasn't in too much pain. Another adventure in Brazil!
